The government giving away huge amounts of money causes inflation of the price of everything being bought with the huge amount of money. Money is only worth what you can purchase with it. It's better to make a small amount of money and be able to buy all you need then to make a huge amount of money and still not afford what you need. The democrats excited about the rise in minimum wage can't grasp that. Resources are limited.

Morons support $15 hr minimum wage and can't figure out why a cheese burger is $18

The democrats idea is to print more money. We can’t borrow anymore. We are twenty some trillion in debt. Inflation is going to be unbearable. Wait until a can of soup is 20 bucks and a can of beans is 50. Or even if you have a huge amount of money and could pay those prices but there is nothing to buy.
The governments job is not to force employers to pay a certain wage. The governments job is not to stimulate the economy with stolen or printed money. It is to limit its involvement in our lives, get out of the way and let the economy do its job.

You are responsible for your outcome in life. Not the government. Not other people, you.

If you need more income, you need to find a way to make yourself more valuable. This can be thru education and experience or starting your own business. Not by the government forcing employers to pay you more. This will only lead to a lot of layoffs and people not worth 15$ an hour losing their jobs.

Life ain’t easy but it is what it is. Trust me I know.

I'm far from rich but if someone is not doing $15 worth of work an hour then they shouldn't be paid $15 an hour.

The more money they give away the less money is worth.

supply chain issues , fuel costs going up significantly. a lot of uncertainty in the economy and taxes.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

They must not shop at same grocery stores i do.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Higher energy cost. Higher food costs. Hurt the poorest the most. All socialist policies. Their answer is to raise taxes. And redistribute the wealth. The higher the population they can get dependent on the government the more control they have. Democrats like big powerful government. Conservatives believe in freedom of the individual. That's how this country got to be the best and most powerful Nation the world has ever seen.

Coonman, you live by Dubuque and instead of driving the short distance to make more money at someplace like AY McDonald as a machinist you choose to stay at a place that pays you a lot less and treats you like crap. I think you like that place personally. I know you work 2 part time jobs. It's past time to get 1 full time job that pays more. The other job is custodial work and you say you like that so go be a cleaner full time.

Go put an application in at Hormel they're looking for workers so are a lot of other places. Iowajobs.org or Dubuque jobs

As far as burning up gas and putting more miles on a wore out truck trapping coon this year that's your fault. If you thought you'd make a profit doing that you're delusional. If you had a full time job and ran a short line on your way to or from work it would make sense. I get wanting to trap but not if it puts you in a financial hole.

Once again Good Luck I hope things turn around for you but you have to help yourself sometime.

Well said Badger - In thirty years of trapping I have never ran a trapline that lost money. I did exactly like you said. Ran traps to and from work. I love 3:00 AM mornings. Nice and peaceful in the great out-of-doors.

Milton Friedman always said inflation is created in Washington, well over 20 percent of all dollars created in the last 108 years was printed in the last 12 months.

Isn't hard to figure out prices are going up.

Good luck Dave we are all going to need it. Powell and the red just said they aren't concerned about rising prices yet

That does seem pretty low. Time to find a better job.
