With 2 kids, I was eligible for food stamps until I made $10.14.
With minimum wage where it is now, the government is just going to keep dishing out assistance to needy families everywhere. What in the hell ARE they thinking?
What's sad is that the minimum wage is the exact same amount it was back before I got my college degree. I couldn't live on minimum wage back then, I had to have a roommate to afford a decent apartment. I can't even imagine now, as Repubs are bitching about inflation. Inflation? Hello, it's already here, perhaps wages could keep up a tad? Or is that too much to ask? *roll eyes*
