[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] The example that caught my eye was the one regarding a 67-year-old man flipping burgers for minimum wage. (What can I say? I'm closer to retirement than almost anyone else here). Someone who's 67 years old will very likely have some sort of retirement package or at least social security. If not, there are a wide variety of federal, state, and local relief packages available to the elderly. Flipping burgers would be a bonus, providing the aid packages don't deduct whatever he's earning from what he's eligible for (some do, some don't). Increasing the minimum wage does tend to drive inflation. Note how many times Alan Greenspan has increased the prime lending rate (incrementally, but frequently) to prevent inflation over the last several years. [small]Drat! I just looked at the clock and I'd better get ready for work.[/small] I'll get back to this later. Gotta go! ~~Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
