I hold the government -- or this administration -- responsible for this.

At my last job I couldn't believe that line workers were being hired for $6/hr and secretaries for about $11/hr. I made $9/hr at the front desk of a hotel 25 years ago. It was pretty good money, but not big bucks by any means.

So who do we hold responsible for the current wages being roughly equivalent to those of 1983? Who do we hold responsible that housing, food, gas, medical care, etc., have more than quadrupled (if not more) since then?

I remember when grocery stores started accepting credit cards for food! WHO has let this happen?
