From the masters of the obvious, the Media, comes this story, "Study Finds Rich-Poor Income Gap Growing." While Congress tries to help us get out of debt by doubling our minimum payments, they've done nothing to raise wages. The minimum wage has remained stuck for years, while Congress gives itself pay raise after pay raise. I quote from a previous entry:

The last increase in the minimum wage was in 1997. Since 1997, Senators have voted themselves raises totaling $28,000 a year.

Hullo! I have been warning about this for months! Yo! journalists! Start reading blogs!
