well it's cheaper to get something off the dollar menu then eat at home. Dude the living wage (read: wage to survive) in my home area (Montgomery Co., MD) is over $10 dollars an hour. I'm sure there are some places where $5.50 may let you survive in some places, but it's still insanely low. We haven't adjusted it in 7 years. That $5.50 is worth a helluva lot less today then it did 7 years ago. It's high time we raised it.
