Increase minimum wage in accordance to what it was when it was first introduced. "After its creation in 1938, the value of the minimum wage rose relatively steadily until its value reached a high point in 1968 (when its nominal value was $1.60 an hour.)""The minimum wage of $1.60 an hour in 1968 would be $10.56 today when adjusted for inflation [according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index inflation calculator.] Doing this is merely a step into repairing america, but by paying workers a actual living wage will enable america to prosper, increasing consumer revenue and tax revenue as americans will make more but have more money. put this in accordance with actually making corporations pay, and you impact the deficit heavily.
