What is the current minimum wage these days anyway? Cause $9.50 sure doesn't sound like much money to me. How could a single preson raise a kid on 9.50 an hour?

>Increase the Minimum Wage: As president, Obama will raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011 and index it to inflation so full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing – things so many people take for granted.
