Jeb Bush: People Need to Work Longer Hours
Of course they do. I don't mind workin' in the fields so Jeb can live in the mansion. How 'bout you.
As far as "growing the economy," working longer hours would do it.
A 1% increase in total hours worked and in labor income, assuming the 1% was spent, would grow the economy.
A 1% increase in population, resulting in a 1% growth in labor income, such as through illegal immigration, would grow the economy.
Putting unemployed back to work would have the same effects.
A 1% shrinkage in government would grow the economy more than either of these.
