4. So costs which still have kept spiraling upwards constantly since the 1980s (and min. wages

were frozen at a 1980s rate), are acceptable (along w/ the higher priced goods resulting as a consequence of these higher costs) but not higher wages (or better said, a decent living wage)?

This guy is not an economist, he's a republican hack, plain and simple, and is trying to protect who he really represents, the 1%ers who don't want to pay higher or more decent wages to their workers. With the cost of literally everything higher since the last increase in min. wages (again, the 1980s), how does this idiot expect workers w/ wages still stuck at 1980s rate, able to buy anything? If anything, workers are getting into serious debt in just trying to keep their heads above water in buying their cars (to transport themselves to work and back) and shelter (a home to live in).
