Is raising minimum wage nationwide a horrible idea?

Doesn't this just cause inflation proportionally.

Yes, among other things. At the very least, minimum wage supporters should acknowledge that each state has a different economy and a nationwide minimum wage would not work in every state.

That's a good point, every province in Canada sets its own minimum wage as its market conditions dictate. However, it goes up nearly every year sometimes more than once. In the Ontario election that just passed it was actual a major issue the incumbant goverment used to win the election by saying that would raise it to 11 dollars.
