The headline of the Washington Post article told readers:
“Obama, GOP Turn to Job Growth.”
Actually, both plans described in this article would have almost no effect on job growth as almost any economist would have told reporters. This is a cynical effort to pretend to be concerned about job growth by politicians who are not prepared to take any of the steps that actually could lead to more rapid growth.
Reporters are supposed to expose these public relations charades, not act as conduits. That is what the politicians’ communications staff are supposed to do.
