The (UC)LA Times is conservative? Insert not sure if serious gif here.

The article is correct, there is a shortfall of S.S. and benefits are going to have to be cut or taxes raised (or both). Politicians don't want to deal with that.

They should just add a 2% tax to anything over $500k in earnings. Done. SS isn't the problem. Medicare is.

We have to get healthcare spending under control.

It's not my job to educate you, I doubt you are even capable of learning. Business investment, and investment in manufacturing. Also, wage earners at the low end of the scale are seeing the highest increases in pay. Wake up, or not, I really don't care.

Yeah, states have passed raising the min wage laws and Trump, who fought it biglly is taking credit for it. Just Trump being Trump.

WRONG. Wages are increasing because of market forces, not because of any minimum wage law. Minimum wage laws are price controls. They do the same thing as any other price controls. They cause shortages, in this case, available jobs.

The wages that are increasing were already well above minimum wages to begin with. You are making a false equivalence fallacy.
