The problem I see with the current minimum wage is it is so low, that people working full time at that wage can apply for food stamps, and in fact are encouraged to do so by Walmart and McDonalds.

A full time worker SHOULD make enough to not be eligible for food stamps, in other words, a living wage.

the R's always want to bring in the teenager into the discussion, and I can be ok with an "apprentice" wage for them, but the vast amount of people working foro minimum wage are not teens, but are people with families, and full time (or nearly full time) jobs just trying to live.
