Food stamps for one person, part-time, minimum wage, no disabilities, no dependents, no kids, is about $30/month.
All those other factors that contribute to the total are all personal life choices.

Try getting a scholarship, working during college, and going to a school in state that doesn't cost $20K per semester.

Better yet try community college, it's a lot cheaper and you learn the same exact shit for a fraction of the cost.

Motherfucker, public library is free.

Take night classes at the community college for Engineering.

Start an email dialogue with someone from an engineering department/engineering firm about what classes are needed for an engineering degree.

Then ask if you can intern there on weekends/during the day before or immediately after work.

It'll be hard. It'll be a time commitment. You will lose friendships and not be able to keep up with TV shows.

But it's either that or stay a pussy \your entire life.

Me - "Well, if I move, how will I ever become a famous actor!"

/pol/ - "That will never happen. How about you go to a community college, which costs far less than a state school. Take classes when you can and work away at a degree. High schoolers are taking college night classes, but you refuse too because that's when you party. If you really want to succeed in this world, you're going to have to work harder. Get a second job. Stop spending money you don't have. Move to a cheaper city. Get roommates for an apartment. Don't eat out as much. Bike to work. Don't buy the best TV package, internet plan, and unlimited texting. The reason people are on food stamps is because they are lazy. People can make money at home working on the internet. You could be a telemarketer for christ's sake!"

I am working my way through college. I work retail (check Aldi's, Trader Joes or Costco for reasonable wages). I don't spend money on ANYTHING that I don't have to.

No hot showers ($2 per 10 minutes of heated water)
No fast food.
Everything I buy I get on sale, then I buy it in bulk.
Thrift store clothes.
Community college for 2 years, transfer with a good GPA and get scholarships.
Cheap phone from discount carrier (republic wireless)

It cost me $4k a year to go to top tier in state college thx to mid tier scholarship.

Other kids from out of state lost scholarship, spent all money on drugs and alcohol, and didn't even finish school. That's their own fucking fault and I'm not helping them.

Not to mention only STEM majors need top tier college. If you want a trade degree go to community tech for next to nothing. If you want to be an artist do us a favor and leave the car on in the garage with the door shut.

Healthcare and and "free" school system is awesome in germany, also universities cost 200-300 euros a year. To pay for that, germany has the second highest taxes (overall) in europe. If you are a single male you can get close to 60% in very rare cases, but 50-55% is normal. Goes down to 30-35% when married.

The only problem I have with this "socialist" system is that it also spends too much money on other useless stuff. You probably could reduce taxes by 5-10% and keep the level of health care and education easily, but we give to refugees and other EU countries which could be used otherwise. And our state propaganda is way to expensive, just one of the several TV stations (ZDF) costs more than all of BBC. They are really throwing the money out of the window. But I guess thats the goal with systems in place like the IMF/World bank.

Also germany has the biggest "rich-poor" wage gap in europe, I think only in the US it´s bigger. The middle class is milked. It is easy to see that the system will collapse sometime soon. If we could remove the kabaps in germany (50% of muslims unemployed, 75% of their "females", 4million muslims, 2.5% of population, without the extra refugees) we´d safe a lot of money and the system could continue to work. Without shitskins/refugees, we´d have 40-50 billion extra to spend, that´s close to 15% of our national budget.

Cleansing when?

Tuition has gotten as high as it is because of government subsidized loans. If the government subsidizes all of education you'll see your taxes go through the roof when universities inevitably raise tuition even more.

And IF there are laws that prevent universities from artificially spiking tuition like that, they'll just lower professor salaries and hire more adjuncts to keep uni administers and distinguished professors on board, ultimately leading to a decline in the quality of education. Meanwhile, private school tuition will skyrocket, as it'll become a better alternative to "free" public education and supply & demand takes over.

AKA exactly what happened when the DoE was established.

Fuck you OP, you lazy degenerate.

You have all the tools at your fingertips to get an education and a good job. Don't have money? Take out a student loan. Don't want huge loans? Work a part time job. Apply for scholarships. Work jobs over the summer. Too weak to do that? Go to a state school and pay a fraction of the private cost. Still have hurt feelings? Then FUCK off and go pump gas for the rest of your life.

You think that getting a high paying job should be easy? Fuck off. You have to EARN your place in society through hard work and merit. If you can't handle it, go bag groceries for the rest of your life.

The strong survive, the weak don't. This is how nature works. Competition fuels success, and if you can't handle it, go settle for mediocrity. Just don't bitch about it.

>That's assuming the cost of living doesn't rise along with it (which it will)
How?

There is literally no mechanism in economics that would explain inflation due to an increase in wages.

The minimum wage is literally just a price floor on labour.

Observe the two graphs to the left.

Graph A represents a job where the price for labour is above the minimum wage. Minimum wage goes up, nothing happens.

Graph B represents a job where the price for labour is below the minimum wage. Minimum wage goes up. More labour is supplied at that price (J1 -> J2), and less is demanded (U1 -> U2).

Wow. What a fucking shock.

Note how inflation doesn't even fucking come into it, you fucking spastic.

>"enough money" is determined by the individual
I agree. If the individual spends their money like an idiot, it isn't enough money.

If they know how to handle money, they can comfortably live off of $15/hour right now. And if living costs advance, then they live slightly less comfortably. Only in extreme cases of inflation or if the person is retarded with their money is it not a livable wage.

unemployment jumped from 6.731 million in March 2007 to 15.212 million three years later (No Brainer: Extend Unemployment Benefits). Was there a rise in employee compensation that increased firms’ costs, leading to lay offs? No, demand collapsed.

>>70843922
And in many areas the current minimum wage (determined by state) is sufficient. What a few people who remain employed might enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, those who would be laid off, wouldn't.

Because Universities arent located in villages.

And you have to take into account: I work 60 hours a week to make that much. And I am, after everything, left with maybe 3-4k in spending money. Which I do hoard, but I'm just saying: you will need a backbone to do this.

Fine then, it's not monetary inflation. You win.

That still leaves the problem of unemployment and layoffs.

Or how about the fact that wage hikes disproportionately affect smaller businesses than larger ones?

>That still leaves the problem of unemployment and layoffs.

Don't care.

Increasing the minimum wage does not and cannot cause inflation. That's all I came in to say and now that it's been said it's case closed, I'm done.

>>70844671
In other words your solution isn't a solution.
>>
>>70844186
OK. But we're not arguing about how comfortable unemployed people will be.

What I'm arguing is that you cannot determine a minimum wage simply based on people's capability for spending. You have to assume they're a competent spender, and with that assumption, $15 an hour is a comfortable living. Too high, I would argue, for a minimum wage, which conceptually should be a scraping of a living. In the current environment, the number I was given earlier for an accurate number ($9.25) would definitely be accurate for that. If it needs raising, then go to $10.

People are not supposed to spend their lives working at minimum wage. It is bare minimum, hence the name.

If you want to go to a public school, there is no way you can't afford it. ANYONE can afford it. I come from a family that couldn't contribute a goddamned dime to my STEM degree, so I took out loans and went to school, and I just graduated last year.

People will think nothing of getting a loan for a new car, but a good education at a state university would cost you less than that, and the only reason it costs as much as it does is because of all the subsidization we do for it.

So fuck off with your socialism.

Average community college where I live is less than $5k/yr. Any job worth a shit is going to pay you enough to afford tuition still have $5-8k left over working part time. Get a roommate or two, eat on the cheap, don't spend $200 a month on clothes or eating out and you'll be fine. And this is assuming you don't qualify for any scholarships.

This.

The root cause of lower wages is imported workforce, who are happy to get pennies. The western infrastructure cannot operate if you import the third world into it. You need to find out the root cause of a problem to figure it out or you will only fix the problem temporarily, and create worse problems for the future.

I love these Bernie cucks who see a problem - and then just decide to change the product of the problem by force to just pretend that nothing is wrong.

It is YOUR shitty LEFTIST ideas that fuck your own shit up, NOT the CIS PEOPLE, PATRIARCY or WHITES. It's like the meme where the dude is on a bike and puts a stick in the wheel and then complains about him falling.

In Germany education is free, yet its one of the least aducated countries in EU. Here in Israel education costs a manageable amount, but still unreachable for the lower classes. But literally everyone gets a degree, the competition is insane. Getting a job means you need to be Better than the other 12 people applying who also happen to have a first degree. Basically in Israel 1st dgree= shit, 2nd degree = what 1st degree once used to be.

Use the grands as safety deposit to start a small business and your problem's solved.

For example, you could buy a food truck and spend all summer going around music festivals, selling overpriced hotdogs and soda. Profit margin would be off the chart and you'd even get to enjoy yourself while you do it. Best part is, you can even sell the food truck when you're done.

Because lets face it, the regular old investing has gone to shit and nobody can play that game now unless they're crooked bilionnaires looking to con some smaller fishes

Unwilling? No. Unable? Yes. I don't think we should have people dying in the streets just because they can't work 80 hr weeks. I agree you have to live with what you are capable of providing for yourself, but we can be doing so much better in that regard. Most of it revolves around the current state of the economy not "needing more programs" or shit like that.

I'm guessing you don't live in a warm, populated place. let me tell you about where I live. bums fill the street everyday. none of them have worked a day in their life the spend their time recycling cans and begging so that they can pay for smokes, beer, meth and there cell phone (swear to god at least 2/3rds of them have a touchscreen phone.) they form huge tent communities under bridges and in secluded places.

they don't die on the street. they live till 70 and die from shit health.

Yeah, sure, okay, free colleges in a country full of immigrants, legal and illegal, and also with a really shitty drop out rate.

But I guess it's alright if your tax money supports a bunch of dumb niggers so they can destroy their books and other stuff without feeling any guilt because "It's free".

>Increase Taxes on the rich
Yes, let them move out and leave America as yet another shitty poor country with nothing that puts them on the map anymore, since everyone already left, and also left behind a big hole of taxes that some one will have to pay some how. Good luck getting out of the country after that.

Just because you can't be an engineer doesn't mean you can't find a better job. A low wage job and food stamps is a stepping stone to a better life, it's scraping the bottom of the barrel because it's what you have to do to get by and be a productive member of society.

If you want to go to college, do it. Sign up for FAFSA and apply at a community college. Work and go to school, save every dime you can. Transfer to a university after you've done all the coursework you can for free and then take out loans to pay for the last couple years of college.

It's possible. Nobody ever said it would be easy or comfortable, but it's sure as hell possible.

Waiting on some old piece of shit to stand in front of congress and demand free shit isn't going to help you realize your goal, only you getting up off your ass and doing it will. Maybe if you're lucky by the time you transfer to university they'll have free college.
