Problem is, this is coming from one of the dumbest members of the House, who is an absolutely philosophically incoherent Southern Republican who was a 9-11 truther, is in favor of raising the Federal minimum wage, and votes often with union interests.

He really is the wacko bird - but sometimes he’s right, and this would be one of them.

An incoherent paulbot for sure. His Wiki write-up seems to be spot on with your characterization.

Jones has a lifetime rating of 84.69 from the American Conservative Union. However, his voting record has drifted more toward the left in recent years according to the group's ranking. In the last four years, he received some of the lowest ACU ratings of any Republican from the South. In 2006, he received a 79, in 2007 he received a 71, in 2008 he received a 58, in 2009 he received an 83, in 2010 he received a 65, and in 2011 he received a 60.[17][18][19][20][21][22] The former five ratings were the lowest recorded in those years for a Republican from North Carolina.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. This happens to be one of them. On this issue, he makes a hell of a lot more sense than the Speaker does.
