Every hour worked whether it be part time, full time or jolly roger time is benefiting the economy, our services and the well being of the people in our country. Stop whining and accept that great strides are being made in the recovery of this country

People's livelihoods > the economy

Guess I must just be a more compassionate person than most to care more about standards of living than deficit reduction.

And before someone mentions it, it is a myth that the latter has a positive impact on the former. If people aren't paid enough to sustain a sufficient standard of life, who gives a flying **** if the economy is improving for those in the middle and at the top?
