Surviving Off of $7.25 An Hour

This is just rent
[media=https://youtu.be/76mYMP1dMDk?feature=shared]

Impossible for a minimum wage worker to pay rent, buy food, and supply transportation, and please don't have children - even at eight or nine dollars an hour. One must work two jobs at least....... Will Vice President Kamala Harris try to change this, she indicates she will

Congress decides the minimum wage, its not an Executive privilege.

@SumKindaMunster I didn't say it was an executive privilege - I said let's see what Kamala would do about it.
And isn't the government all - about you give me this I'll give you that - deal making between the ruling parties.

@SDavis I understood what you said. The point I am making is that Congress needs to take this up and pass it. At best, Harris can use her supposed "bully pulpit" to try and get them to increase the minimum wage. I don't think she will do any of it. Should she win, I fully expect this to be Biden 2.0 and the wars in the Middle east and Ukraine will go on, while she allows invaders to come in and take our resources.

@SumKindaMunster my mistake on that aspect. You see her as a bully that's your right I see Trump is worse _ if she puts honest effort into it and fail then it's not her fault after all they didn't pass anything that Obama put before them _

I look at people who seem to think that the US government can stop wars that go on in other countries - this government does not have that power all they can do is talk, negotiate. Putin hates this country unless it's run by Trump and even then he's not going to listen to Trump he wants Ukraine back.

And Netanyahu is determined to try and wipe out and he doesn't care what the world thinks or says.

You're not a Texan, and if you were you would know there is always been illegals as well as legal immigrants coming over the southern border _ always _ it has always been a problem. A wall isn't going to stop them, barbed wire isn't going to stop them. They climb, they dig, they tunnel under. They swim Not one administration has stopped it. Even under Trump, they were still coming. Shutting down the border didn't stop them. And that Trump wall is a disaster almost 20 billion dollars for 47 MI of actual new wall that's falling down in places. And what is Steve Bannon being indicted for how much money did he pack it of that 20 billion .... The question is how much did Trump pocket, Bannon just got caught.

In other words, Kamala will take Biden's place in the Iron Man suit operated by AI.

I didn't call her a bully, I said she could use the "bully pulpit" which is a term used to describe the power a President has to make issues out of things.

bully pulpit
noun

A position, especially a public office, from which one may expound one's views to a wide audience. An exceptionally advantageous position from which to extol one's ideas; -- applied especially to the presidency of the United States, which was described thus by President Theodore Rossevelt.

I don't agree with the rest of your statement. I am highly skeptical that you are an American, and as such, you would not be privy to knowing what is happening in Texas or elsewhere in this country.

@sree251 and what does bully mean what does pulpit mean and who is behind the pulpit if not a bully elsewise the term bully wouldn't be used. Example executive order whether you wanted or not this is what I want this is what I'm going to do bullying.

@carpediem

I said I wasn't going to say anything else to you but know where did I say Trump was a murderer.

And any person with common Sense would know those names is referring to the people that blindly follow them regardless of their antics like Trump supporters do Trump even asking him to be a dictator and wearing dictator t-shirts.

Oh you're referring to me as being sick and lazy - because you lack understanding what you read. Actually it's you.

And what I call Trump he is - he's displayed it - he's lived it - he speaks it -and I'm going to add he's a racist and always has been and when you see him with a Black, Hispanic, Muslim, person that's because he wants their vote. Making fun at people with disabilities ..... Making comments about dating his daughter and have you seen the suggestive pictures ...... So much more this man has done.

But you call me sick no ____ you're the one that's sick - it is you who truly needs help. Your comment suggests you don't believe in God so you don't rely on him.......
Nothing else to say to you
