re: Chris Christie: "I'm tired of hearing about the minimum wage"

Let me make you familiar with them. Let me introduce you. A soldier, sailor or Marine with no college at all, 30 years old. This guy has a limited window to get tuition assistance to pay for a degree completion program to get a bachelors degree which is worth less and less every year. If he doesn't finish in time, he has little or no qualifications to do anything but work with his hands. X number of years of combat service and what does he have to show for it?

You high and mighty bastards on this fricking board pontificate as if any of your ridiculous opinions have any application in the real world. I've seen first hand people who have bled for our country come out of the military and fall flat on their face because of lack of opportunity. I never said that we should raise the minimum-wage. I in fact said it's probably not a solution. But the larger point, the one that many of you don't seem to understand, is that there are very many deserving people out there who didn't make any bad choices, they never had good choices.
