If you “boost jobs” you hurt Democratic party “growth”. Thus the opposition.

Tax cuts aren't the only way to boost the growth rate and crash through the 3 percent barrier. We should admit more skilled immigrants to replace the wave of retirees. It would also make sense to put work requirements on our $1 trillion a year welfare state.

F*** that. Common senses dictates that wages rise when there are fewer workers. To continue to flood the labor market with immigrants is a crime. Adjusted for inflation wages have been stagnant for 50 years.

' The long-term growth path for the U.S. economy from 1950 to 2000 was 3.3 percent.'

The past does not guarantee future results.

Post WW2 boom, no rise of China, India. Global wage arbitrage, free trade, outsourcing, automation, etc.

Good luck with the 3%.
