On the topic of increasing the minimum wage I was thinking about the reasoning for it. People want it to be higher so people can get a living wage but in a country as big as the US a living wage varies from state to state and in some cases a living wage might be different within different parts of the same state. Why not try to implement policies that make the current wage in certain areas liveable? I know it's not that easy but I find it weird that none has proposed such a policies.
