So now you are flip flopping and saying minimum wage isn't a major driver, so how much of an impact do you think a small increase in minimum wage would be? (less for states that have higher than federal minimum wages.)

Go back and read. Never said it was a major factor. It is A factor and you never admitted it was even a factor.
So is it a factor or not? If it is, then why doing it?

I want urban to tell us what he thinks should happen to wages in years we have negative growth in inflation.. Does he think we should be cutting peoples salaries at the very time we need people to spend more?

It is a very minor factor, which is proof in the fact that inflation happens regardless if you raise minimum wage or not. So tell me, how much of a factor do you think minimum wage has on inflation if you no longer think it is the sole or major factor?
So if it is only a minor factor, then why not do it?
So what you are saying is you don't know the difference between "major" and "sole?"
"Major" vs "sole" isn't the issue. The issue is your accusation that people in this thread (which you won't name, for some reason) claimed that it was the ONLY driver. Nobody ever wrote that.
Once again, you've been caught in a lie and are trying to writhe your way out of it. You should know by now that I'm not going to let you do that.

inflation happens when we increase spending, which happens WITH MORE JOBS.. Taking away jobs (note 2008/2009) results in NEGATIVE growth.

Look, you are the one saying it was not factor and didn't cause inflation. OK, now you think it's factor but minor. So how minor is it? You need to tell us.
If it is a factor, then what's the point of raising the minimum wage? Do you have calculation to show any increase would NOT be offset by the inflation it causes?
