A survey has found that abortion has passed inflation to become the top issue in the presidential election for women younger than 30. That’s a key finding of a KFF survey of female voters with results released Friday.

    Well minimum wage should be keeping up with inflation. If everything gets more expensive and then suddenly isn’t, it doesn’t really help anyone until everyone also get paid more.

    But that’s more of a local government thing. I think we’re getting something like that on the ballot in California, but poor red states probably don’t have a chance in hell of passing stuff like that for themselves.

      Absolutely true. Minimum wage is in governmental control and needs to go up with the increased costs of goods and services. But as you mentioned, probably not happening in the states that need it most.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t minimum wage a state law, not a federal one?

        Absolutely be angry at the government for not increasing it, but target that anger at the appropriate level of government.
