Your math is really flawed. You must be using that liberal math.

So I took some household items from 1992 with the prices compared to today’s prices.

Idaho potatoes (5-lb bag) - $1.69
Rye bread (loaf) - 0.99
Oreos (20-oz package) - $1.59
Milk (1-gal) - $2.78
Eggs (dozen) - 0.93
Total 7.98

If you went out and bought the same items today it would be $17.86 (I used instacart). A total of 110% increase since 1992. The minimum wage then was $4.25. A person would have to work almost 2 hours to afford those things. The federal minimum wage should be 110% more than $4.25, so $8.92 would be appropriate but like you said, many states already are well above that.
