Jobs

"When a great many people are unable to find work, unemployment results."

- Calvin Coolidge

In some respects, Calvin Coolidge was more progressive than many Tea Party Republicans and their economist lackeys. These folks latterly have attributed unemployment not to the inability of workers to find jobs, but to their interest in taking a vacation. And Republicans in the Congress and in state legislatures have done their best to make it even harder for people who work for a living to find jobs.
