Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, in my opinion, is not the solution.
Inflation rises faster than wages increase. Lawmakers don’t seem to get it.
Spending our tax dollars conservatively would be a good start to controlling inflation. Politicians need to learn from responsible home-abiding citizens how to manage spending.
Politicians have better insurance coverage than you and I. Guess who pays their insurance?
Does Medicare pay your dental? Lawmakers don’t have to.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they would step down to our level?
There are two words that we should take seriously. Discipline, meaning if you have a $100 in your pocket, you can’t expect to spend $110 and plan for your retirement. Lastly is motivation. You can’t depend on your government bailing you out when you have some lawmakers lining their own pockets.
What’s in your pockets?
