Minimum Wage In An Endless Cycle!

People in many states are angry, and are trying to fight that minimum wage should still be raised up to 10.10 like Obama wanted it to be. If they haven't already, people are starting to ask questions, is the minimum wage (7.25) enough to survive on. However, the question I have is how are some states minimum wage higher then other state, which I already know the answer to, but it's really strange that they decided to set it up in that fashion. When the wage increases then the food and other items that we buy are going to have to increase as well for businesses to make a profit. Take the dollar menu at McDonald, if minimum wage grew then that dollar menu might increase to two dollars. Without getting too much into the whole Democrat and Republican drama. The Republicans say that the raise wouldn't be affordable for employers, and the Democrats just think that they are taking a side against poor workers. I personally like the idea of inflation of our wage over a period of time, as said in a Senate bill sponsored by Iowa Democrat, Tom Harkin. Whatever happens, for certainty, prices will go up, and minimum wage is bound to grow, but the question we all want the answer to, is when!
