Raising the minimum wage will not only benefit the people who need it, but will also help the government. In Andy Stern's article “Why We Need to Raise the Minimum Wage” he explains that by raising the minimum wage the government will save millions of dollars because fewer people will need government help. Since people will earn more, they will ask the government for help such as food stamps and other economic assistance they receive. In the article “Congress Should Prioritize Raising the Minimum Wage,” author Mijin Cha explains that by raising the minimum wage people will spend more money and all the money spent will circulate in our government and be used to rebuild our economy. We're helping our government by raising the minimum wage, but we're also helping ourselves. In Warren's article he explains that it will not only be adults who will benefit, but 17 million children will also benefit because their parents will earn more money allowing them to live a more stable life. This affects everyone and more good than harm will come from this bill, so it's worth the risk. That's why so many people support this bill and want it
