Should the government raise the national minimum wage?
The federal minimum wage is the lowest wage at which employers may pay their employees. Since July 24, 2009 the U.S. federal minimum wage has been set at $7.25 per hour. In 2014 President Obama proposed raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 and tying it to an inflation index. The federal minimum wage applies to all federal employees including those who work on military bases, national parks and veterans working in nursing homes.

I mean, the government would never do something like this and I can understand their decision logically. That being said, what other answer did you expect me to give? A hopeful statement that they should? That's unrealistic sweetie.
