Gator, this is a political ploy.  They will not do this and they know it.  They get credit for trying to help the venerable "little guy" and they make the Unions happy because a raise in the minimum wage would mean a raise for most union workers.  In the mean time, they know it will not pass and even if it did the Gov. will veto it as he doesn't have to run for election this year.

Fancy, prices have risen for food because inflation has made us use more dollars to buy the same thing and the price of fuel has to be covered in all things consumer.

LOL yet pay has stagnated and inflation rises.  Again, if people can't purchase, prices will tend to either go up or we end up in a price war break out.
