Bush said:
“My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours” and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That’s the only way we’re going to get out of this rut that we’re in.”
Then Clinton Tweeted:
What I like about this is the narrative that is being built up. Bush is clueless out of touch loser, very much like his Dad who was amazed by a grocery store scanner.
Bush later tried to spin his remarks by claiming they were pro-worker. But anyone who knows ANYTHING about who has benefited from the productivity gains of the past 20 years, knows that line is complete bullshit.
