She is against raising the minimum wage, and in an argument last year she used an example of how she only made 2.00 an hour at her first job and that wage was just right and taught her to value her interaction with customers.

OMFG! Is she really that sheltered?! 2 bucks in today's market will barely get you a packet of bubblegum. And if you're making 2 bucks an hour you're on the poverty list. Maybe someone should kidnap her, bring her to a third world country, force her to work in a factory 24/7 for even less then the above and see just how well she gets by without being able to afford decent food & water, let alone have any human rights. What's with these people?! It's like they don't even care about the state of their own nation. Everything MUST be bought and payed for. Even that which we're dependent on for our very existence. That's pretty sick.

Well the point was when she was working that job 2.00 an hour would have been about the equivalent of 14.00 an hour.

She had a very fair wage that provided her enough to live on and that was "great".

But paying someone that same wage now would be disastrous in her mind. She is either evil and realizes the mechanics of inflation at play, or she's just honestly that damn stupid and doesn't know how inflation works.

Which is you know, something you'd like people on the House Budget committee to have a grasp of.

People in power don't care about inflation. It is the working class that suffers for it. Heck, even some people in the working class do not even know what inflation is.
