GOP Answer To Unemployment - Just Ignore It. Inflation Control More Important.

Based on GOP logic high unemployment keeps inflation down because people don't have money to overheat demand. Plus too many workers seeking too few jobs keeps "free market" competition up and wages and benefits down. Employers can pay less and raises are lower. Such an economy keeps inflation down which is where the Fed should focus.

That way the money of the rich is more valuable. So that's it folks. And that is why the GOP does not support jobs bills. We certainly would not want to see too many Americans working. And they also win because the government brings in fewer taxes and Social Security and Medicare becomes more underfunded. The GOPPERS win all the way around.
