Jeb Bush: People Need to Work Longer Hours

Of course they do. I don't mind workin' in the fields so Jeb can live in the mansion. How 'bout you.

As far as "growing the economy," working longer hours would do it.

A 1% increase in total hours worked and in labor income, assuming the 1% was spent, would grow the economy.

Don't you think that would be dependent on the work being necessary though? Hours worked seems to me to be dependent upon the amount of work there is to be done, not the other way around. The question isn't as simple as just working more hours, it's how do we create policies that create more work that necessitate more hours to be worked? If it was a simple as just working more hours, FDR's New Deal would have been a smashing success, and I don't find too many conservatives who think that it was.

Ofcourse people need to work for longer hours , get out of their comfort zone and work the hell out to make the country progressive . But this all is coming from someone who pretty much defy it in the first place. Interesting.

A 1% increase in total hours worked and in labor income, assuming the 1% was spent, would grow the economy.

A 1% increase in population, resulting in a 1% growth in labor income, such as through illegal immigration, would grow the economy.

Putting unemployed back to work would have the same effects.

A 1% shrinkage in government would grow the economy more than either of these.

Sure. I have not voted Republican for years with the exception of Romney. Prior to him I have voted Libertarian. Browne, Bednarik, etc..

Good for you. BTW, that also means if Jeb is the Nominee....and he comes under attack by Hillary, Democrats, the "Lib'rul Media".....you won't defend him....
uh....right?

Is this guy for real? Is this really who the Republicans want as president?

This is worse than George.

Of course republicans want people working more hours, then they don't have time to watch what other skullduggery is taking place in congress, due to everyone being so tired they can't keep track of much else.

You took it completely out of context on purpose. I don't even like Bush, but I'll defend him when his words are twisted.

Like people who are a called asst. managers so they are non-exempt and can be worked 60-70 hours per week, for $20,000 per year. (and yes there are several million employees in this category around this nation)

Not that it will matter as I see your from California(same as me). Our votes have already been counted for whatever loser lowlife the Democrats trot out as their nominee.

My other home is in Henderson, NV. I am a resident there now. California is my vacation home.

I like Romney better than Bush. Romney made his money himself, Jeb had a family with money and connections.

Romeny's last name was his money maker...

Bush is wrong. Middle class people need to make more money, not work more hours.

Obama definitely took a step in the right direction expanding the FLSA.

This is what people want to hear from their presidential candidate
And spoken like a true client of the Chamber of Commerce. Well done, Bush.

And if Bush didn't say what he meant to say, whose fault is that? Loser.

Just remember, it was Grandfather Prescott Bush who supported Hitler in WWII. I don't understand why anyone would ever trust a Bush in any governmental office.

Google "Bush Nazi" and get the facts.

Everything about Jeb seems to indicate "Romney-II".

From that kind of tin-ear attitude towards working people....

to the fact the Far Right today think they can "stop him" from becoming the Nominee...as they thought they could stop Romney in 2011.

Jeb's going to be the Nominee....the RNC wants it. The Big Money Boys want it. And he's leading in the polls...even with Trump in the mix now.

I like Romney better than Bush. Romney made his money himself, Jeb had a family with money and connections.
