Dear Blog Friends:

Politics today. Last night was the Democratic debate. To be honest, I am not a democrat but I listened, trying to keep my bias in check.

Bernie Sanders, the Socialist/Democrat proposed a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour. This would have many unintended consequences.  It would be disastrous for the unskilled workers in the fast food industry. Teenagers, wanting to work on their vacation would be out of luck. I reside in an assisted living facility, $15.00 per hour for the many unskilled workers employed here or elsewhere in a similar facility would cause our rent to skyrocket.  Instead of raising the minimum wage, it should be lowered. I thought the debate to be dull, and a lot of promises that would cost the tax payer a lot of money. Free this, free that, Free enterprise, less regulations those are the job creators.
