I wanted to post my letter to the editor that plugged one of your ideas from Generation Debt.<BR/><BR/>The college factor<BR/><BR/>A number of issues are related to the question of whether Michigan should increase its minimum wage. Among these issues are the access and affordability of a college education.<BR/><BR/>As Charles Owens indicated, more than 86% of employees who would be affected by a minimum wage increase live with their parents, have a working spouse, or live alone. Most of these workers represent teenagers and other college-age students just starting out in the workforce. Many work to help cover the cost of attending college. Their earnings are only a drop in the bucket of the total cost of attendance. As a result, many deserving college-age students are being priced out of college, and no increase in the minimum wage will change that.<BR/><BR/>If voters truly wish to help these young workers, they should push for capping the skyrocketing tuition increases.<BR/><BR/>Kevin Scanlon<BR/>NorthvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
