Biden’s sneaky way to raise the minimum wage without changing the law

How do you raise the minimum wage without raising the minimum wage?

This is a riddle that the Biden administration has solved with a set of economic policies that specialize in perverse incentives to crush small business. Chief among these policies is continuing unemployment aid to millions of Americans while job openings go unfilled. Once again this week the jobs numbers underperformed, missing projections by 100,000. This is starting to be a habit for Biden. Increasingly Build Back Better looks more like sit on the couch and watch the checks roll in. Republicans in congress and in state houses across the country understand that we must stop paying people not to work.
