Its to bad our wages don't reflect the true cost of living.

In the past six years, my job was eliminated. Given a different position. Froze my wages, until the devision I am now working in comes up to to the wage I had been making.

So basically that means that two years ago I got a ten cent an hour wage increase, last year I got a one time payout of $300.00 .. WOW... Impressive. Corporate greed. Yet gas prices are rocketing, all utilities have increased. Groceries are going up due to gas prices.

Times are tough.. and getting tougher I am afraid.
Sad for the future of our Country.
