{"product_id":"9780998084862","title":"Seniors, Social Security, \u0026 the Minimum Wage: Why Do Seniors Always Come In Last?","description":"When I first checked out the $15.00 minimum wage proposal for fast food workers, I kept thinking that it would be hard for seniors to \"enjoy\" fast food ever again. Maybe it would actually help seniors live longer. But, I am quite sure that living longer is not a goal that government has for seniors.\u003cp\u003eI wish the fast food industry was the only victim for the $15.00 per hour national wage. We all want everybody to do as well as they can. So, nobody begrudges the fast food workers who will get $15.00 per hour even though right now the US minimum wage is now $7.25. Even the optimists know that when fast food workers begin making $30,000 per year (at $15.00 per hour, other industry workers will be looking for more in their paychecks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe all know that if $30,000 ever becomes the prevailing national yearly wage what that will do to seniors on a fixed income. Those care providers who make about $20,000 per year do not compete for the fast food jobs but if it represents a $$10,000 pay differential we will be seeing college graduate social workers who now take care of many seniors going for the $15.00 fast food jobs. Then will the fast food workers who may not measure up v the college graduates vying for their jobs try to get the $20,000 social worker jobs. Or should everybody be given the new $30,000 wage?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf everybody gets the new $30,000 wage, how is it a wage increase because it will merely add to inflation? I have the answer since Obama has raised the social security wage almost never in his eight years and he plans no increase in 2016, it will be seniors who pay for everybody's huge wage increases. Is that really what Hillary wants? How long will seniors last when everything costs more than double? Surely those paying the $30,000 per year will be raising prices and seniors will be the only ones not getting raises. Thank you Obama. Thank you Hillary? Don't blame Trump for this one folks!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Let's Go Publish!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49832647131376,"sku":"9780998084862","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998084862","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
