    Pointless. As soon as the minimum wage is raised, the cost of living goes up. That puts us right back where we were.

    We have too many jobs in this country that are below subsistence wage, so I am happy for those who can get some help. On the down side, it will raise the cost of goods and services. So, it is a two-edged sword.
