And Thomas Sowell’s wise words should be heeded. Talk to some flesh and blood carpenters, electricians, secretaries, etc. about their economic fate over the last few years. If the conservative message to those folks is “You are a commie socialist lackey for being concerned that your wages have fallen in real terms over the past ten years,” then I guess we should just accustom ourselves to being perpetual losers.
If your message to them is new programs from the Federal Government will help you with that then you ARE a commie socialist lackey.
I would be astonished if Jeb could say that “Government isn’t the solution, it’s the problem” without choking or catching on fire.
