The minimum wage was not designed to make life comfortable, but rather as a way to guarantee a "Minimum" income to those entering the workforce. Current attempts (relatively successful) to increase the Min. have addressed the worst of the discrepency, though it will never be enough to rise above the poverty level.
Though it can be said that the current Administration did not help the situation for the most part, they certainly did not cause it, nor in my opinion, have they made it significantly worse. This is simply the reality of our economics at this time, and I am not smart enough to figure out how to make it better.
