No parent should be forced to take on debt just to make sure their kids are ready for the first day of classes.
The jobs report for the month of July confirmed what we already knew - over the course of the last year, wages in this country have fallen behind the rate of inflation.

No child should go hungry so that a billionaire can buy another yacht.
Pay-to-play politics is the name of the game with our current President.
At a time when America's standing in the world is being tested, the highest positions within the State Department are being handed out like candy to well-connected donors.
Politicians turn to condescending lectures when they don't have real solutions to offer, but lectures don't put food on the table, fill up the gas tank, or pay the rent.
Americans are spending more on groceries than ever before, and this is the response from my Republican colleagues.
"Stop whining, get a job, eat ramen."
The display at National WWI Museum and Memorial was a deeply moving reminder of the pain that endures from that fateful day.
