Here's the verdict on that "terrible" Obama economy

Increasing the minimum wage kills jobs. Any legitimate economist will tell you there is only one true minimum wage: zero.

Any legitimate economist? These kinds of statements make people take you less seriously.

Here are some pro/neutral
Princeton economists - http://davidcard.berkeley.edu/papers/njmin-aer.pdf
MIT economists - http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/REST_a_00039#.WEbHuuYrKUk

Here are some anti
UC-Irvine - http://wol.iza.org/articles/employment-effects-of-minimum-wages
University of Texas - http://wol.iza.org/articles/do-labor-costs-affect-companies-demand-for-labor

There's a very healthy debate among contemporary economists about the effects of raising the minimum wage.

While we're following simos' insane concept of no minimum wage, let's get rid laws against building with asbestos. How about letting children work 16 hour days in mines and sweat shops? Let's take all workplace regulations away while we're at it. Who cares if people did working in mines? Who cares if people get injured every day at work? There's someone to take their place.

Didn't you read the Breitbart piece?!? Our economy hasn't grown as quickly as it did in the period directly after WWII so OBAMA FAILED.

This shows how stupid and gullible Bannon's people are.
 
Maybe they should get some bootstraps!
 
When are the rural working class folks going to get off oxy and meth and actually go get a job? Nothing Obama or Trump will do is going to fix their drug dependancy. No personal responsibility = no economic recovery.
 
an economy growing at 3.2%..Record high stock and home prices...4.9% Unemployment rate and not to mention rising wages..........what a mess for Trump LOL

He will turn this into Atlantic City and USFL and claim it was all Obama and SNL's fault :)

If you have some time, you should go tell them that. Could be a game changer.

I am in upstate SC and there are not enough qualified workers for the jobs that are available. I guess it was ok to be methed up and work in a textile mill but in the new economy you at least have to be clean and have somewhat of a brain. That high school education can't take you any further than a service job.
 
Look at the hateful prejudiced shit being said about the white underclass. And you people wonder why they turned on you assholes. Unreal.
 
Trump is sure going to do a lot for them with OPM
