So instead of having someone pay more for what is a scarce resource lets just reverse inflation? I'm not seeing how that is easier.

  Rent, medical expenses, and college expenses have all out paced inflation so it is more important to fix the underlying issues in those markets than force employers to pay more.

    Doing away with health insurance and student loans is unlikely to be a popular political position...

      No, but changing the health system so it is cheaper could be workable. Also, if made colleges partially responsible for ensuring loans were repaid it would reduce student debt.

    Sure. That would be an efficient solution. No one wants to take that hit though. So we’re going to do the other thing.
