Tie the minimum wage & SS to the percentage raise US Congress gets every YEAR!

5. I knew there was an automatic clause

I didn't think to fact check. I learned that from Fox.

By law, Congress obtains an annual automatic pay adjustment, equivalent to the prior year's average private sector wage change. However, the raise can't be a higher percentage than for other federal employees.

Congress can vote to delay or deny this raise and has done so five times since the last increase in 2009, most recently in January of this year. If each of those increases had gone into effect, congressional pay would today be 5.5% higher, still less than inflation.
