Hawley alternative to minimum wage increase
quote:
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is jumping on the minimum wage bandwagon and will introduce an alternative to Democrats' proposal on Wednesday that would use federal dollars to increase low-earning workers' income, Axios has learned.

Hawley is proposing a three-year program that would increase worker wages in 2021, paid by taxpayers rather than employers.

I like it. I have always had a problem with minimum wage and rent control and mandated employee benefits that put the burden of social reform on employers and landlords. The government should act to fill these gaps and spread the cost. This is a good idea, much as I dislike Hawley.
