Jeb Bush Completely Out Of Touch With Society

Jeb Bush’s remedy for struggling Americans is to work more hours. As if Americans aren’t working enough, some taking on two or three jobs just to make ends meet. “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,” said Bush.

Is Jeb completely out of touch with society, or does he just not care about the American worker?

Mike Papantonio appears on The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann to discuss this.
