I thought the POTUS addressing the minimum wage was a great step. But I would like to see more. I always thought $12/HR would be a reasonable amount. $9/HR is an improvement, but someone earning that wage would still be under $19,000/YR, which contrary to the POUTS's statement is still well under the poverty line. I would like to see a minimum of $12/HR, and more money spent on job training and education for welfare recipients. Good luck getting that past the GOP though.
