Minimum wage doesn't pay the bills. I am barely paying the bills on 13
an hour; which is twice the federal minimum wage.
I am all for education, but without a *college* education, or a lot of
on-the job training and promotions, (which takes a long time) it's
*very* difficult to find a job that can support a family on one income.
Even a family of two.
