Easy, money doesn't grow on trees.
Every increase in spending, private or otherwise, has to be paid for somehow.
You are naive to think that a dramatic increase in the minimum wage would only have positive outcomes. And yes, an increase in the neighborhood of 40% is dramatic.
Like I said, if the majority of people earning minimum wage did so for a long period of time, I would likely agree with you. Since it clearly is not the case, I disagree.
