By the majority of responses I see on this blog, there is not a person present who by globalization standards deserves more than a couple of dollars a day. Unfortunately, it is unlawful here in America to hire someone for $2 a day, so you may have to do without altogether until your government gets its head out of its rear and eliminates the minimum wage. We also need to get rid of the ridiculous notion of OSHA and unemployment benefits, which are not available in cheap labor countries and make America uncompetitive in the global markets. I am sure if most of you took on 200 – 300 part time jobs you could make your mortgages. I mean come on folks, you cannot support the new global economy “sort of”, you need to be ALL IN!
