In my opinion, things have gotten worse everytime they've raised minimum wage. If everyone at the bottom end is making more money...... suprise each dollar becomes worth less like magic. Add to the fact that a business will pass this expense down to the consumers because the fat CEO's can't make any less money this year they need their bonus you know. Now add to that the absurd prices of gasoline and what do you have?!?
Abracadabra.... home mortgage rates higher than ever because what a dollar was 5 years ago isn't even close to what it is now. Add to that what's going to happen this year to food prices due to the govt having farmers growing FUEL instead of FOOD. Hang on folks it's going to get much much worse in my opinion.
Anyone with even a small bit of common sense would have seen this comming.... I did.
