Bush: People Need to Work Longer Hours!
« on: July 08, 2015, 09:33:14 PM »
Jeb is clueless. How about the people who are already working 2 jobs to make ends meet or 50 hours or more to make ends meet?  Are they supposed to work longer hours?  Working longer hours will make one more productive? I guess sleep and eating are grossly overrated.  His answer to getting us out of this rut is working longer hours?  By that statement it seems he has no plan to get us out of this economic turmoil.  Perhaps someone should give him a hint and dare to whisper the words "create sustainable jobs" to him. :hammer:

Jeb Bush: People Need to Work Longer Hours

Today, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who as of-late has gone relatively gaffe-free, uttered a phrase that may not go over too well with the constituency he seeks to reach. During an interview that was live-streamed on the app Periscope, Bush told New Hampshire’s The Union Leader that to grow the economy, “people should work longer hours.”   He was answering a question about his plans for tax reform and responded:

“My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours” and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That's the only way we're going to get out of this rut that we're in.”..

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

His idea fits in perfectly with the Obamaconomy which is destroying good paying jobs, and ObamaTrade which wants to ship even more jobs overseas.

But don't let anyone tell you Jeb isn't a conservative, because the establishment gop is backing him.

I see what you did there.
We need a bird in the hand. Maybe even a Ptarmigan.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
