Is the Administration trying to shift subsidies onto the private sector?
The constant push for higher minimum wages, as high as $15, would shift the burden of subsidizing low income and low information people to the private sector.
Government will be praised as heroes while (un) intended consequences would make life worse for those poor subjects who will follow like lemmings down the proverbial cliff.
What they will encounter is to lose eligibility for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid and other State and federal programs, leaving them worse off than before. Because of their newly found “wealth”, they would be classified as the “new middle class” courtesies of their compassionate Administration. All the while the federal coffers would increase because of cost savings.
The evil Corporations would be blamed for causing this problem for not paying for extra subsistence.
I don’t believe that that calculation has not already been made by the Agencies?
This is only my personal opinion and I could be wrong.

Indeed when they gain full control over them intended consequences will ensue note Obama’s history on bale outs Detroit health care wall street.........
Organized labor has been a major player in the fight for higher minimum wages at both the federal and state levels....
The powerful Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ is a principal player in Raise Maryland. Its members may also benefit from an increase, no matter their wages. CUF identified a previous 32BJ contract that guaranteed Maryland workers pay that is at least 50 cents higher than statutory minimum wage.
