Somewhere between Option 1 and Option 2.

If we raised it to 9 and tied it to cost of living from then on, it would be a good solution, but I imagine Democrats want to keep the issue in their hands for strategic reasons.


This pretty much fits my view.

I don't think any of the poll options are ideal, the current minimum wage is inadequate, but increasing the minimum wage will only increase the cost of livings. rather than worrying about wages we should be worried about the ever rising cost of living, and we should take necessary efforts to reduce it. Or at least keep it in check.

Inflation is fairly low in America and Europe these days.
