THE PUNDITS said it would never happen. But both California and New York on Monday implemented legislation that moves them toward a tiered minimum wage of $15 dollars an hour, covering 60 million Americans.The hikes come as a direct result of organizing by thousands of people in the union-backed “Fight for 15” movement that kicked off in 2012 — organizing that was quickly decried by pundits and opponents as unrealistic and unlikely to ever succeed....Power to the people!

When the frame shifts the previously unthinkable becomes thinkable.
Except the unemployed...
This is going to force an intra-nongovt income flow to increase which will increase the flow of income tax withholding out of the non-govt and into the govt... while not increasing leading flow into the non-govt .. thus making the deficit smaller...
Stand by for some more "Deficit too small!!!!!" dead ahead...
