Real reason Democrats want to raise minimum wage.

[NoDrama]

some people will blame the government, others will correctly blame H1N1, and the circle of life will continue.

Actually the "official" decline in economic activity is because of snow in winter.

 

[UncleBuck]

Wait, you just said eggs were $1.71, now you say they are $2.09.

look again at the year, dumbass.

 

[yktind]

you're still paying too much.

Tell Ralph's and Von's not me. I've been saying we're paying to much for the last year. I am in Ventura County, CA if you'd like to point me to a store that sells it for that cheap. I don't mind buying non organic either. I had to stop buying Bacon so I could afford other shit. Also, I pay $3.99 for *eggs(Organic, non organic is $3.49 so I was like fuck that plus it is a huge difference they taste so much better. Never would have believed it if I didn't try it for myself). That is at Smart and Final.

Edit = Eggs

or do you care to expand on that short sighted notion that a rise in minimum wage must automaticaly make all prices rise?

Personally I work on the assumption that there is alot more inflation than they are telling us about and this is the reason that we MUST HAVE min wage increases. Not the other way around. In other words we don't raise min wage in an effort to raise prices on goods, we raise min wage so that people can try to have the same shitty lifestyle because everything is getting more expensive.

Unless you are uncle buck. Buck says there is no inflation and that people actually have more to spend now than ever before, but supports a min wage increase because stuff is getting so expensive.

FYI your graph is retarded.

Oh I see, if the years are different then that means no inflation. Gotcha.

 

[canndo]

ever heard a conservative say "I told you so"?

me neither. So either they are egoless and lack all false pride, or they have never been right. They have forecast doom in any number of scenarios from communist take over "just you wait and see", to missile gaps to social security spelling our demise to Obama taking our guns to rampant inflation to death pannels to trickle down economics.

the right has proven time after time that their ability to see into the future is almost completely non existent.

it has also proven to be incapable of remembering its failures. So each time the right comes up with another cause and effect scenario, they absolutely believe that this one is as dead on as all the previous ones.

You can substitute the word conservative with Liberal and be 100% correct also. Goes both ways.

no, i am here stating that inflation exists. no need to lie. min wage does outpace the rise in costs though, that much i have shown using the numbers.

i do like how you dispelled ginwilly's crazy conspiracy theory though.

never said there was no inflation and i challenge you to show me where i made such a claim.

no need to lie, you generate enough drama without lying.

Everyone knows you were lieing.

Min wage doesn't even begin to make up for inflation because employers will pay as little as they can for as long as they can.

If wages more than keep up with inflation then there is no need to raise the min wage at all.

In before the edit.

then how come min wage went up more than 100% but BLS commodities like bread and coffee and bananas and chicken went up less than 100%?

we would like to believe that, but I said "I told you so" about WMD in Iran, about supply side, about the inevitability of an oil spill in Alaska, to name a few.

Buck eats moldy gubberment cheese on Dollar General crackers, quaffing a nice cold Hamm's.

they don't sell hamm's here. i miss it.

People only consume those three things in Bucky world.

No you did not, prove it or take back everything you just said.

is this more of that bogus "econ 101" crap? Or is it "common sense"?

so look at reality for a second instead of theoretical reasoning in a vaccuum.

minimum wage is the only cost that does not float on top of inflation. It is the only artificial.

so, a business pays increasingly more for meat, buns, electricity, gasoline, and even salaries.

so, according too your common sense, high school level economics class, our entire economy is artificial because we SHOULD have been paying a minimum wage that adjusted for inflation.

according to you, our entire economy rides on the backs of teens and WalMart greeters.

the reality should be examined. Adjusted for inflation, these workers should be getting about 22 bucks. So where did that money go?

it either went to keep all prices artificially low, or it went into the pockets of the principles and stock holders.

or do you care to expand on that short sighted notion that a rise in minimum wage must automaticaly make all prices rise?

Before you pick up the crack pipe again, just know I didn't read a word you posted.
