Lindsey Graham Offers Waffle House Plan to Dems Worried About $15 Minimum Wage On 3/4/21 at 8:58 PM EST Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has said he will talk to Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin about an alternate plan for raising the national minimum wage. Graham s plan, suggested to him by representatives from the national restaurant chain Waffle House, would index minimum wage increases to inflation. His plan could also soothe Machin s worries that the Democrats proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025 would endanger small businesses already harmed by the pandemic s economic downturn. While Graham didn t offer specifics when mentioning his plan to reporters last week, similar proposals have tied annual minimum wage increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the costs of goods and services commonly purchased by households.
