Great Moments In Republican Rhetoric, Cont'd.
“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.” (emphasis added) -- J.E.B.!, letting his lord-of-the-manor voice out in New Hampshire yesterday.
This, from the loyal brother of the guy who cratered the economy in 2007 - 2008, and who for years has been living off cushy business connections established by the House of Bush. We would hope to see J.E.B.!'s motivational comments in future Dem ads.
UPDATE: J.E.B.! now claims he meant more workers employed full-time rather than part-time. Mmm hmm. Man of the people.
