Attacking the GOP's so-called "jobs agenda"

Last night I talked about the fact that we're going to need to be able to demonstrate how the GOP's so-called "jobs agenda" isn't one.

This morning Steven Benen gives us the slogan to do so.

The GOP leadership believes businesses might hire more if, for example, they were allowed to pollute more, while Democrats believe business might hire more if they had more customers.

There's a lot more info at the Jonathan Cohn article he linked to.

And Stephen Stromberg gives us this tidbit.

There are undoubted costs to environmental regulations. But there are also large benefits...every dollar spent on some of the measures Cantor is targeting — those cutting cross-state particulate and ozone pollution — will result in $30 in economic benefits from employees taking fewer sick days, a lower incidence of many chronic illnesses, and fewer early deaths. And let’s not even get into climate change.
