Good idea especially for those trying to live on it.would be impossible.my son worked at McD for awhile and quit because of the money.He lives at home and has no real bills except for his phone.He could never think of moving out on his own making 8.25 an hour.

I think it is a great idea.  I started working at age 21 and, at that time, minimum wage was $3.10, raised to $3.35, raised to $4.25.  It was a struggle living on those meager earnings.  At least, at $10.10, they should be able to save a dollar or two. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :moneymouth:

I think it's an excellent idea, and it should happen in every state, with every company.

Like everything else things are going to go up and that includes minimum wage.  It's inevitable.  People don't make the same as they did 20 years ago and prices aren't the same so why wouldn't minimum wage go up over time?

i agree 100%, wages haven't caught up with inflation, it seems logical that this would have happened but who knows smh

I mostly agree. I think that it has been too long without an increase that it is outdated. However, some areas still scare me to what it might do.

Obama's thoughts on anything regarding the economy are laughable to be kind about it. No elected official in the history of the US has done so much to destroy the US economic system, and Obama has done it by design. Why would anyone consider ANYTHING Obama thinks, says or does is meant for the good of America? You have to sill have you head in a really dark and nasty place to believe so. The evidence is abundant and clear.
