I guess he never ran a lemonaide stand either. I long for the days when an employer and employee had a mutual agreement on work and wages, and the gov't was not involved.

Welcome to Newspeak. Up is now down. Good is bad. Doing nothing is work.

I was looking for the satire tag. I guess our Labor Secretary is dumber than a bag of hammers.

So, to increase employment you just offer people a job where they get paid for not working. Boy, what a stroke of genius.

“In his speech, Perez also lobbied for a higher minimum wage, immigration reform, and labor unions.”

That about sums it up.

Yup. Liblogic. Less people working=more people working. Must be common core training kickin’ in. It’s not the answer that counts, it’s the journey it took to get to the answer. HUH?

uhhh....the labor participation rate in Canada is higher because Stephen Harper can run rings around Obama when it comes to knowledge of economics. Not because of the additional benefit.

Liberals live in a fantasy land where none of their policies ever have negative effects.

Gotta hand it to a liberal....they’ll come up with some specious BS every time. Rain or shine. Just a labor version of the Broken Window fallacy.

If we limit the program to government numbskulls like him and make them promise they will never work ever again, we might actually come out ahead on this plan.

...because forcing businesses to pay people who aren’t working encourages them to hire more workers.

Help me, John Galt!
