You are correct - the major problem is the inflation, which is on the rise. The minimum wage is an arbitrary amount. As long as it's just an arbitrary amount, why not make the minimum wage $25 or $50 an hour?

And it's not just "American Austerity" - inflation knows no national borders.

In discussions about the minimum wage on liberal talk boards I find myself in disagreement with my peers. I say the problem is not the minimum wage but inflation. Like Richard sez: "the rent is too damn high." I don't think raising the minimum wage is going to solve the problem. In San Francisco they are proposing raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Don't pack your bags yet, because rent there is way off the charts.

Welcome to American Austerity.
