Living Wage and Minimum Wage

[JayhawkSD]

13. I'm sorry, where did I refer to "dreaming" about anything?

In my original post I said we "should be busting our collective ass" to get people back into meaningful jobs. What part of that translates in to "dreaming about returning to the old days" to you? In subsequent posts I said that we should "Create the jobs." and "Bring them back from overseas." What part of that is "dreaming." precisely?

Can't be done? Well it certainly can't be done if we settle for an economy that consists of selling each other hamburgers. It can't be done if we define "making a living" as working in a fast food joint serving crap food. If we wanted a healthy country those jobs would not even exist because the crap that is sold in them is making us fat and sick. Those should certainly not be defined as desireable jobs in a nation that has any vestige of self respect.
