Today’s New Democrats are pretty much what used to be called “moderate Republicans.” The “political revolution” that Bernie Sanders called for, rightly, would not have greatly surprised Dwight Eisenhower. The fate of the minimum wage illustrates what has been happening.

Since then, the minimum wage has stagnated (in real value). Had it continued as before, it would probably be close to $20 per hour.
