Which is why $9,500 matters so much

I mean it's definitely nice but after pensions and taxes and everything else it's probably like an extra $400 a month. Not exactly world shattering but definitely nice.

There are a shit ton of people in this country living on so little that an extra $400 per month would be huge for them.

There's a percentage of those who would consider an extra $400 per month life changing money. If you were making minimum wage this would be the equivalent of working an extra 25 hours per week. Math is pre-tax.
