The economy (much like the world's) has been really kept alive by the govts otherwise it should've collapsed a long time ago.

That is what happens in business and in gambling things rise & fall but artificially forcing a constant rise or maintaining when it should've collapsed only delays the inevitable.

 

I simply have to refer to the political pandering of the lower class done by the Democrats in regards to raising the minimum wage.  It sounds great, and for Republicans to deny it sounds heart less until you really understand what is actually occurring.

By increasing the minimum wage law, you are only temporarily kicking the can down the street in the same way as increasing the debt limit.  You say sure your minimum wage is now $20 dollars an hour (great happy days lets dance and throw a party) but wait a burger now costs $20 what used to cost $10 which was $5 dollars when the minimum wage was $5 dollars.. 

my point is you dont get more money and everything stays the same, in order for businesses to pay their employees that higher wage they increase costs thru several industries which then increases everything in a domino effect...

 

Bernie & Hilary aren't stupid they know that to be the case, but they also know (along with Donald Trump) that by saying you will increase the minimum wage that you will win votes & popularity despite it being a flawed policy.
