There is a strong and perhaps unstoppable push for an increase in the federal minimum wage. Republicans have tried to stall it by tying it to an extension of the estate tax cut in the House of Representatives, but it could well be that Congress in the end finds itself compelled to increasing it.

Republicans should not go along with an increase in the federal minimum wage at this time. Instead, they should support increases in the state minimum wage rates as they find appropriate.
