The problem with the economy right now is that there are plenty of people with other skills that are doing those jobs... I realize that's the Kerry line. And there certainly are a few. But "plenty"? I don't suppose you have a supporting link (preferrably a nonpartisan one) for this remark? I saved $1000 last year. Great. Couldn't tell you what I did with it. That's YOUR problem. A person who really needed the money certainly WOULD remember, however. I didn't know a damn thing about Kerry's policy towards the minimum wage until I checked up on it after the last debate. My feelings on minimum wage lie in real-world experience and from being an economics student. What policy? There IS no policy, except to arbitrarily have government increase wages for unskilled laborers. That's no policy. Hell, if you are an "economics student" then surely you know that such mandated controls actually cause those earners to LOSE ground economically. This is pretty fundamental stuff.
