It does seem strange for a party with a bigger libertarian bent than it used to have to believe that having Congress focus for two full years on jobs would actually be good for jobs. The main way a legislative body can raise employment is to reduce all taxes on employment. It’s hard to believe doing so would take 24 months. Of course, Tea Partiers might respond that in fact Congress could easily spend two productive years undoing the elaborate latticework of regulations and codes, from health and safety through “equal worth,” that raise the business cost of hiring people.
