Prior to examining some issues facing our country in the upcoming election, I realized I didn’t have an opinion on some of the issues. For example, I hadn’t thought about whether or not we should raise the minimum wage. After people talked about reasons to both raise it and not raise it I feel it does make sense to raise it because many people who work at those jobs are paying college loans or supporting families.In addition, prices are always going up so the argument of keeping it the same doesn’t support it. The people who are working those jobs will have greater debt because their wage is the same and everything else is more expensive.
Another thing I noticed about our discussion is people can get really emotional and argue with each other when they disagree. In conclusion, politics are not a good lunchroom discussion.
I like how you listed specific information about raising federal minimum wage. Reading this blog made me feel more involved with the election. Who do you think will win the election?
