Nick Searcy noticed something about @BarackObama’s minimum wage increase sales pitch:

Searcy certainly wasn’t alone:

.@BarackObama isnt that more of an indictment on your poor handling of inflation?

@BarackObama An admission that the Obama Administration's economic policies are driving inflation, but not employment. #Learn

The Dems would simply use any further price increase as a justification for another raise in the minimum wage. Where does it end?
