Are you serious? He's saying we need to be more productive and we need to work more hours because this is a part-time economy. People have to get back to working 40 hours instead of 25 hours. That's what he's saying.
This headline is more proof the media fears Jeb Bush because they know he can win.
People aren't working more because of the greed of the investor class, which has shipped jobs overseas where folks work 50-60 hours a week for poverty wages. Less-than-subsistance wages. Jeb's got some crust, eh? This is got to be the most out of touch statement I've heard a politician make. And I'm saying this as I work my 2nd job because my main job (which requires a 4 year college degree) isn't enough when my spouse isn't making $10/hour with no benefits.
Let me also share with Jebby-Poo that it took me some time to find my 2nd job to work more hours. I had to make sure that it didn't conflict with my first 40 hours of primary work, and that's the burden lots of people DO face who are working 2 part-time jobs; how to make sure one doesn't conflict with the other.
That's the thing about the Bushes that irritate me no end; they have no idea how the average person lives. None of them have ever had to put off making a major family purchase until they were on sounder financial footing. None of them have ever had to choose between keeping the car running and dental care for themselves or their kids. None of them have had to settle for a half-wit doctor and something other than the best possible Rx for an illness because their doctor was "the guy on the plan" and the insurance company wouldn't allow for the newest antibiotic. They also never had to go back to a doctor to tell them that the antibiotic they were just prescribed (that was pushed by the saleswoman in the "power suit" with that "samples" briefcase) cost over $100.00 that they didn't have and could Dr. Soandso give them a Rx for amoxycillin or something cheaper. They know nothing about this. So when Bush 41 professed his love for pork rinds, or Bush 43 tried to act like a regular rancher dude, and not some legacy propped up by his rich Daddy in everything he ever tried, I get nauseous in a particular way. The Bushes make it easy for me to vote Democratic, even given my social conservatism. Jebby just took the cake, however. This is clueless at new levels.
