This hits every John Q. public right in his wallet! Give more so we can take care of everyone...BULLSHIT!
Yes. If my own comes in with that kind of increase, I do believe I am going to have to take on an additional part-time job in order to keep up with our bills. With everything else but pay increasing, we are at the edge of making it work, cash-flow, wise. And the house is paid off, no car loans, no debt. It is scary to be staring at 60 next year, in this situation. I will not take a penny from savings to pay “normal” expenses, so that is not an option.
Hillary's entire campaign has that philosophy. She calls it "investing".
The basic idea is: "I need to take more of the money you earn by working ... and give it to those other people who are not at all productive. This is an investment."
Huh?
