The problem with raising the minimum wage is that businesses often give you less hours because they can’t pay that wage and give more hours.

I don’t see it myself...but I can see Hillary getting us into all sorts of problems.
It is still 7.25
And trump jus canceled scheduled federal employee raises citing extreme financial conditions.
So it would appear it’s not so great.

Working class people seem to do ok where I live.
Wages Rise as U.S. Unemployment Rate Falls Below 5% (Published 2016)
Although employers added only 151,000 jobs last month, the wage bump suggested that some of the benefits from the falling unemployment rate were flowing to ordinary workers.www.nytimes.com
An article from early 2016, before Trump even had the nomination. Unemployment started going down at the end of the Obama administration, yet people want to give Trump all the credit... But again, the rest of what I said remains. I don't see conditions improving all that much for working classing people so until I do, I'm not going to get excited no matter what statistics say.
You have said repeatedly you have a massive homelessness problem where you live. So that would appear not to be the case. But I am assuming you are too detached to realize.

I don’t live downtown where they mostly are..and I don’t believe I’ve said it was massive just that where my husband works is the core of them because of the soup kitchen etc.
Federal pay is not, or at least should not be, tied to the overall economy.
I did not see that in the report I read. Throw me a link?

Theres always an excuse...... but hey, dont pay attention to closely.... look at that Godless, better red than dead Commie pinko Sanders! Hes really a secret billionaire! Hes trying to bankrupt America by guaranteeing a $15 minimum wage!
They operate outside of the free market.
I work in retail grocery and have not heard that to be the case in my area. Another "whole type" store that is doing well in my area is cutting hours though, indicating the company, as a whole, is struggling.

Bernie's also a Ashkenazi (counterfeit Jew).
What do you think creates homeless people Lisa? Do you think it’s a symptom of the working class doing alright?
Do you realize there are scores of wealthy addicts as well that you just don’t see because it doesn’t drive them to homelessness?
