It's common sense, we take care of people falling on hard times, and thanks to 0bama we have had over four years of hard times, with no end in sight.
How did they fall on hard times ?
These are min wage workers who can't seem to do any better than min wage.
Getting fired would be falling on hard times but they are working.
I'm sorry to tell all of you, but most jobs that need to be done in our society do not require special skills. I guess this means that most of our population should live in perpetual poverty because the free market (which, actually, has never been completely a free market in the history of our country) says so. Unfortunately, that is not good for anyone as it breeds crime, violence, drug abuse, etc, etc. But I guess that's what we want...so yay America.
I don't know where you get this drivel. Free market capitalism doesn't breed poverty.

They didn't go to school so inflation affected them more. Some people went to school and chose a bad major. Some good paying jobs got sent overseas for cheaper labor.... So we should make our labor more expensive and increase the inflation rate.
So if you pay $15 for french fry cooks, what happens with the wages of all the people earning $12, $15, $16 for jobs that require far more training and skill? Gonna raise their wages too? Why should someone work as shift manager of a store if they could make the same money putting mayonnaise on bun?
Maybe the liberals can give them some of their wages?

Huh? Getting fired means you get money in your mailbox from the government. That is the new job for many walking to their mailbox once a month.

What? Liberals only like spending other folks money on the downtrodden. Especially folks they deem as evil and rich which is everybody who isn't a liberal according to them.
Tell that to CEOs whose wages (which they have the luxury of setting themselves) have risen more than 300x that of the average worker.
Let me guess; you believe a money manipulator, social smoozer, or paper pusher on Wall Street deserves to make infinitely more than a Doctor or Scientist?
The more money you make the more it was deserved and earned, and the less you make the less that it was, right?
The more value you bring to a business, the better deal you can work out for yourself.
(CEO's do not set their own deal)
I'd suggest that you get better at what you do.
