In this episode we will explore the Federal Minimum wage. This is a complex issue and has many nuances but we are going to focus on one primary aspect in this episode and that is how the Federal Minimum Wage has increased over the years and what that looks like when compared to the Cost of Living Adjustment, or COLA, used by the Social Security Administration to compensate recipients of Social Security for the cost of inflation.
We will answer the questions of what would have happened if the Federal Minimum Wage was tied to COLA.

Every four years in the United States of America we are brought face to face with the unique way that we elect the next President and Vice-President. We use something called the Electoral College.

In this episode I will not be looking at why we have an Electoral College, but instead about how each person in the United States is represented by the electoral college.

Welcome to the first episode of boring facts. This podcast is dedicated to taking what you hear or read in the news and making it boring.

We take out the drama, the partisanship and the arguments and just present the facts. That’s it. No punditry, no arguments, just plain old boring facts.
