Or vote for a high minimum wage and Bernie Sanders

  Prices will only go up till the new minimum wage is equally painful. Yes. We need our poorest to be less poor. Yes. We need all of our people to have access to health care and a decent place to live. But it's not enough. Not really.

    Minimum wage used to be adjusted for inflation. That hasn't happened in decades. Its past time. And its a myth that prices go up according to minimum wage. In truth its a very weak influence on inflation. Prices will probably not change much at all. Our entire economy does not depend on what we pay the lowest earners.

      It is not a myth that as the supply of money is increased, prices go up to reach equilibrium. Supply/demand works in both directions.

        The supply of money is not related to the minimum wage. The supply of money is increased by issuing bonds.
