I found some of this information the other day; the minimum wage in 1965 was $1.50 an hour. If you took that number and adjusted it for inflation in the year 2005, the minimum wage should have been over $10.00 an hour if it had kept pace. It didn’t. It was about $4.00 less than that. It’s now a year later and the minimum wage is still the same as it was in 2005 and inflation has increased in that time.
What are we thinking? This is progress? No, this is Reagan’s legacy.

ReplyDeleteIt's the legacy of elitism, the struggle of the classes, and the fall of humanity.
I guess it's just easier to have the Reagan boogyman.
I only wish it was easy to rid our country of his misbegotten legacy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how conservatives say the same thing about Clinton. Is it difficult for partisans to be happy people?
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I'm happy! Happy that he's no longer president.
ReplyDeleteClinton's legacy? Balanced budgets with a surplus? Is that the one that irritates the conservatives?
"Balanced budgets with a surplus?"
