    Very creative suggestion. One of the primary concerns in raising the minimum wage is often the inability of the business to absorb the increased cost or pass it on to its customers. Your proposal puts the burden of this minimum wage increase on the government, not the business owner, her customer or the worker. With only 3% of the work force involved, the bureaucracy required to support it should be small (I know we are talking about a federal program, but a tightly written bill and good administrative oversight could insure the benefits greatly exceed the challenges presented. Why don’t we propose to Senator Young and Congressman Carson that they cosponsor the bill. I bet a large majority of the Congress would see it as bipartisan and vote for it. Gene Zink
