I recently (as a fiscal conservative) decided that government assistance is SIGNIFICANTLY better for the economy than a minimum wage.
By increasing the minimum wage, you are causing a massive cost of living spike, for which the working and middles classes will not be compensated for. The middle class is often the largest driver of our western consumer driven economy. By killing their spending power, you actually kill the economy.
Government assistance on the other hand, helps to "level the playing field" without the same problems as the minimum wage. I mean ffs, legally speaking you need to pay a babysitter minimum wage. Do you really think i'm going to pay an 11 year old $15 an hour to watch tv with my kids?
