clearly right?
but this guy thinks if you raise the minimum wage they'll turn the faucet off.
that these people will get an increase in pay and all of a sudden start paying their bills.

Dude why do you keep mentioning these programs like everyone who makes minimum wage can be on these programs? Like everyone can live in subsidized housing?
A single person isn't qualifying for low income housing, they damn sure don't get priority even if they do. If you can't afford a car you're taking public transportation and that cost money. Stop acting like your breakdown is so clear cut and precise
Again did you even look at the statistics I provided? You really convinced yourself that it cost 9,000 to live somewhere?

It cost 9K to live, you think minimum wage should be $5 huh? You think minimum wage is too high?
What a interesting argument

Waiting list for assisted housing for a single person in Richmond VA (Henrico county) takes months, and that's just to be considered.

Years in PA, when they announce that the waiting list to get on the list is open, lines out the wazoo for people trying to fill no more than 10 slots.

I'm sure you see question marks, I asked you questions I didn't say you said anything. If you believe it cost 9K to live in your city minimally for a single then the minimum wage there should be $5 and your city has poor budgeting. They're paying people more than what is required.

i dont believe anything, im just applying the numbers and doing the math they neglected to do.
its easy to list a bunch of numbers and say it costs X to live somewhere
but if you're going to talk about income you have to consider ALL income, subsidies, and breaks in order to get a full picture
thats what being unbiased is

In what state can you work a full time minimum wage job and qualify for food stamps?
Please share the income requirements,
http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligibility#Income
Net income has to be under 1,000 to get SNAP

we have entires subdivisions that are low income
apartment complexes
brand new stuff
projects too
not to mention familes that still live at home
you name it
and all we have is 'maybe' around 80,000 residents.
its dishonest to spit out a bunch of numbers thst claim these people are paying $660/mo in rent in a debate about income required to live
at the very least show both
because if we're talking a measly little $15,000 salary that $7,000 is big

if by requirement you mean income limits, the link you provided is the same for every state except Alaska and Hawaii.
if by requirement you mean cost to live in my state, i already provided that a few posts back
also, if you use the income limit chart on the link you provided you may wanna stick to gross numbers
the worksheet for the Net works in my favor

If it was the same for every state then nobody in NY and Cali with minimum wage jobs would qualify for SNAPyou didn't even answer the question

The taxpayers are fronting the bill to support people because they don't make enough to survive. The burden should be more on the companies and less on the taxpayers.
It's a complex issue where simply raising minimum wage won't fix everything. However, improving education and wages is a start.

The income requirements for public assistance is different for every state. If it was the same for every state then the states with the highest minimum wage rates would never qualify for public assistance which goes against your own "everybody who makes minimum wage qualifies for assistance"

you're asking me to walk you through finding how much minimum wage and how much public assistance requirements are for each state? oh .. nah but I'll show you for my state
a person who works minimum wage in my state earns $8.75
8.75 * 40 hours = $350
$350 * 4 weeks = $1,400
The monthly gross income limit to qualify for SNAP in NEW YORK is $1,275 (
http://www.nyc.gov/html/hra/downloads/pdf/services/snap/snap_need_to_know.pdf ), again no not anybody who works a full minimum wage job can not qualify for "assistance" like you alleged.
I'll ask one more time, can you share the states where full time minimum wage workers can qualify for assistance since your whole theory is "minimum wage + assistance". You have to know of at least one state unless you hypothesized that statement out of thin air

No idea where you guys are now, but on topic, while minimum is absolutely not liveable, and life has its variables, this man hasn't figured something out in 20 years. I don't like the idea of him being the face of this.
