gas was also 33 cents a gallon. I remember during the gas lines during the carter administration gas was around 70 or 80 cents a gallon. So since 1967 minimum wage has only gone up 6.30 cents, but everything else skyrockets.

I used to go grocery shopping with my mom at that time. She'd buy a week's worth of food for about twenty five dollars. Around that time we were in a bank, and the tellers told people to line up at a certain window if they were depositing or cashing welfare checks. Right out loud announcement, would probably get arrested for that now.
