I have gotten many opinions on
this, I discussed with three others who have jobs and own vehicles. Two of
them agree that setting a price for gas would be more beneficial. This I agree
with, a minimum wage increase would increase the cost of living because the
workers are being paid more per hour. If wages were raised the gas would rise
as well and continue to. If the gas price was fixed wages wouldn't have to go
up or down unless specific skills were demanded. Other say if minimum wage goes
up we could pay for gas easier. However not a strong argument because there are
too many if factors. If gas gets set, people could account for that out of
their minimum wage with precision. Which in fact would be beneficial to any
budget because a balanced budget is tough to maintain with unexpected factors,
like if gas went up. If minimum wage went up, gas would as well and nothing
would be solved. Everything would increase in price and the government would
suffer recession because they couldn't keep up with rising prices.
