Congress hasn't raised the minimum wage in 12 years
What are you talking about they just raised it. Fair Minimum Wage Act Of 2007

Quote:
The minimum wage was passed by the House and the Senate on May 24, 2007 as part of HR 2206, the supplemental aid to the Iraq War. As part of the deal, $4.8 billion worth of tax breaks are going to be given to small business over a 10-year period to offset the wage increase. The bill was thus ultimately enacted as a rider to the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act of 2007. President George W. Bush signed the bill on the next day
