  1. Obama wanted to raise the federal minimum wage during his second term, but an obstructionist Republican majority in Congress stopped that from happening. As a result, we haven't raised it in ALMOST A DECADE. That is WAY too long to wait to raise minimum wage to keep up with inflation and cost of living.

  2. Believe me. There are jobs that are more draining. I was a laborer in a factory working rotating 12 to 14 hour shifts at one time. Jobs in the military are also more draining. But I was getting paid about $10.00 an hour instead of $7.25 as a laborer. A little better than minimum wage, at least.

  3. Just don't try going to college with a rotating shift job. It's next to impossible to find time to study. I learned that.
