A modest proposal

Michael Barone has a point: wouldn't it be a good idea, at a time when Americans are out of work in numbers even the Obama Administration admits aren't likely to fall much any time soon, for the Administration to begin advocating policies that will put people back to work rather than keep them unemployed?

The Bush (and Reagan) tax cuts might serve as a model here. Tax increases- by whatever name, and on whatever economic class- are, on the other hand, pretty much the opposite of what any administration seriously interested in putting people back to work ought to promote.
