Raise the Minimum Wage
Raise the Federal Minimum Wage so people can have money to get the economy back on track.
Why is this important?
While the minimum wage was raised not too long ago, inflation has gone higher than Minimum Wage across the country. Even if you're making $10 an hour, the money is still very tight between the cost of gas, groceries and bills that you have to pay. The minimum wage in all states should be at least $11 an hour. Higher wages means that people could afford to buy more stuff, thus driving the economy out of the recession.
