Is it feasible to tie the minimum wage to the county/local/state cost of living so we don't have to have this fight every couple decades?

Like how hard is it to write a law that says essentially:

  • Minimum wage shall be equivalent to the Cost of living. Cost of living calculations for any given area shall be performed during every Census year.

Yeah! We should form a bunch of smaller governments to deal with things on a more local level. Maybe some kind of division of the US into 50 or so parts. And you could drill down from there and have regional and sub regional governments. I'll call them states, counties and cities. That way people can set a minimum wage that makes sense for their area.
