these hard working families need to be able to, you know, put money aside for rennie jacque, provide for each jet children's education, maybe buy a new car. what is wrong with that. so this helps a lot of american families get a fair shot at the american dream. i might just add, taxpayers need a raise in the minimum wage. social programs to help families who are struggling to make ends meet through our low income or poverty. it is estimated the minimum-wage bill that we have will save over four and a half billion dollars a year in money we will not have to pay for food stamps. people will have the money, go out and buy their own food and will not need food stamps for. again, any way you look at it we need to raise the minimum wage. i want to pick up where the senator left off, this is about real people, not some abstract thing. this right here, a wonderful woman from iowa who came to testify before our committee. she has four boys, moved north from another state, she was in an abusive relationship. so she moved with her four boys. she testified. she works at a fast-food restaurant an
