What Jeb Bush Gets Right—and Wrong—About American Workers
The health of American society is best judged by the condition of the typical working American. What that person needs is a tighter labor market, and healthcare costs that rise more slowly. Instead, Democrats are readying an offer of more regulation, more government spending, and more income redistribution. Republicans will likely counter with more upper-income tax cuts, less health coverage, and more immigration.
Neither set of policies seems to speak to what Americans actually need. No wonder so many voters are turning to ideologues like Bernie Sanders, or to flim-flam men like Donald Trump.
