Is this true? The 401k plans I've had were mostly more expensive than a Vanguard IRA. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/the_bills/2016/05/ask_the_bills_can_someone_who_s_lost_three_jobs_in_three_years_get_approved.html …pic.twitter.com/GBElAByr68

@jeffspross anyway I think the best explanation for broad expert skepticism of a $15 minimum wage is that it's a bad idea on the merits. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross@MaxEhrenfreund almost by definition, the positions of America's left of center major party are left of center. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross@MaxEhrenfreund Hillary Clinton (for example) has taken a lot of left-wing positions! -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross@MaxEhrenfreund Because left-wing institutions gain influence and resources by endorsing left-wing positions. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross@MaxEhrenfreund OK, they think the weight of the evidence suggests that it's a bad (or at least risky) idea. -
In reply to Max Ehrenfreund
@MaxEhrenfreund@jeffspross But if they didn't think it was a bad idea on the merits it would be in their interest to endorse it. -
In reply to Max Ehrenfreund
@MaxEhrenfreund@jeffspross Because they know it's a bad idea. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross But among economists I see a fairly broad consensus that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour is likely to hurt poor people. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross I am not sure what you mean by the "professional crowd." -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross I've talked to left-wing economists who think a $15 minimum wage is a bad idea but won't say publicly for professional reasons. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross Almost by definition, wonks at left-leaning institutions have a financial incentive to take left-leaning positions. -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross Yes you would. :-) -
In reply to Jeff Spross
@jeffspross Right, that's my point.
