Dems and long term mistakes.

Then somebody could get rid of the minimum wage for most people by setting the eligibility of food stamps at say income less than $1000 a year. Or the could raise the minimum wage by increasing eligibility for food stamps to say $100,000 a year.

Food stamp eligibility is set by the poverty level in America and what would be basic subsistence. They're not set by arbitrary numbers just pulled out of the air by "somebody".

The poverty level is arbitrarily set.....therefore food stamp eligibility is determined by some arbitrarily set number.
