>But because of the long history of the minimum wage, "reasonable" would be to take what we have today and index it to inflation. Maybe even adjust the rate of increases based on unemployment.

It's been higher relative to inflation in the past. Like a third higher. There's no reason why today needs to be the standard, or anything we've had in the past needs to be the standard.

It can be, within reason, whatever our political situation allows.
