Hmmm, yes, let's raise the minimum wage (MW) so that prices can go up. And rising prices will eat away at the raise in the MW. I, just once anyway, would love to hear one of these Dems hawking an increase in the MW to tell us why they REALLY want the increase: as a sop to the unions. After all, their contracts are linked to the MW. When the MW goes up, their pay does too. So it's really an attempt to buy Union votes because they know that the poor don't vote as much.
