Yes but with minimum wages administered by the states, that often gets shoved into a ballot initiative. The fact remains that state governments are quicker to raise minimum wages then the Federal government. Even if the constitutionality of a federal minimum wage were not in doubt (and it is) it would still be better administered by states just because state governments have a tendency to be more responsive to the people.
