I see my first benefit of Trump and LePage for Maine consumers
We all have heard about bringing jobs (good paying jobs) into America and how minimum wage is bad for the economy. Well 6 weeks ago I bought Kirshner hot dogs at our local Shaw's for $4.99 a lb( I thought this was high) yesterday they were $6.99 lb. And the woman in the deli said everything is going up but our wages!
Ah yes remember the improvement the last Bush administration made for the middle-class?
I think this one will finish the process.
