Sen. Bernie Sanders is once again calling for a higher federal minimum wage. The current rate has been $7.25 since 2009.

    There’s no point to passing that. I’d rather not pretend.

      It would be better than nothing. There are a lot of red states that are very low cost of living that could benefit from even a small minimum wage increase.

      Unfortunately, that would take pressure off of a more progressive set of labor policies.
