In Orlando, FL the wage would need to be $26.43 to be at a living wage. That is to pay for a car, insurance, fuel, tag. then an apartment (2 bedroom) and then food, taxes, clothes, etc. We need to either raise the wages or lower the cost. This in an economy that most people are working two jobs with no benefits and both spouses need two jobs. It can't go on the way it is.

Exactly!
He is also going to lobby for a nationwide minimum of $15. Republicans are going to hate that.
