In 1960, the federal minimum wage was $1.25 per hour, which was not acceptable at the time and now, it is $7.25 per hour, meaning that millions work full time, and qualify for entitlement programs such as HUD or Medicaid or food stamps. As we look ahead and blame people for not saving enough money, when will people force Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to an income that doesn't leave families in povety their whole life?
