[QUOTE="overflowed, post: 1327311, member: 44109"] My thoughts on this subject kinda go like this. The reason we have been in a recession is no one has or no one wants to spend money. If this theoretically happened the economy would jump start itself. The poor have a little bit to spend, which if they got a large increase in pay would happen. All pay would have to increase as well. People start buying crap, we in turn get very busy, UPS and FEDEX hire more people. This in turn has more people buying more crap, which in turn makes our companies hire more people. Rinse and repeat above. I don't see how this would be bad. Corporate America has used this excuse of we can't give you a raise because of the economy for way too long. When in reality what they are doing to record these huge profits are a self fulfilling prophecy of a bad economy. People have just been hanging on for too long. Something has to let loose. I would care less if I had to pay for an extra 50 cents for a Big Mac combo. The only people this would hurt are people caught up in scams that pay people barely any money for labor. This is all just my opinion of course. [/QUOTE]
