Senators Alexander and Frist vote against increasing the Federal minimum wage.
The minimum wage has not been adjusted for inflation in nine years. During that period, Members of Congress have received seven pay raises.
According to this calculation, the Congressional pay-to-minimum-wage ratio (15.7 – 1) has reached a level achieved only once (1994) during the past 60 years. I guess Senators Alexander and Frist are shooting for the record.
