St. Del. Nancy Guthrie Member, West Virginia House of Delegates (D) :
Jeb Bush is spot on. Americans want to work and our country has plenty of need that Americans returned to work can solve. And yet this crop of GOP ideologues don't recognize that public sector jobs are as legitimate as private sector jobs.
Their answer is to bull on, no matter the consequence, despite historical data that proves Reagan and both Bushes increased government employment when their economies faced similar challenges. And it worked. Those Republicans with bipartisan support from Democrats got their economy moving again. Why are these simple basic economic principles so hard for this new GOP to grasp?
