And that's just from personal experience. 10$ won't pay these bills statistics and numbers mean nothing in the real life world 2 jobs at $10 which is above a lot of state's min. wage and still not enough to pay bills? Have you considered going on social welfare programs? You are working too much to barely get by wtf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of the US dollar would decrease. Those studies sound promising so that's good. Ma ma pa pa pa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
