$9 <> $15 does it buddy?
$9 an hour is barely above where the market has placed most peoples wages. The number of people that actually make federal minimum wage is alot less than you seem to think. The amount than make less than $15 an hour is much much much higher.

Yes, IIRC, Sanders plan is as followed:
2017: $9.25/hour
2018: $10.75/hour
2019: $12.50/hour
2020: $15.00/hour
Or something similiar. My only complaint is rural areas that can be problematic. But most places, perfectly acceptable. Corporations and republicans have literally brain washed people into think minimum wage is fine where it is. And that is a massive joke. I make north of 70 grand a year about 6 months after college and I am in massive favor of it rising. Too many people I know back home where I am from have to live with those shitty jobs and make slave wages.
If you somehow get away from these slave wage jobs, government assistance would be much less in regards to welfare. Think big businesses give a shit if you have to live off the government as well as work in order to live life, negative.
America is falling behind other countries because of corporate greed with examples being this, healthcare, college tuition and so much more.

Actually the standard of living for the poorest 10% of America is a fair bit higher than most European countries, with only Sweden (massive gas producer) Canada, Australia and another country that I can't remember, with any significantly higher standard of living for the bottom 10%.
