James Carville on Jobs |
Outside of love and faith, the most sacred thing you can render in this world is your labor. It certainly isn't any of the government's business whom you love or whom you worship. But it sure as hell should be its business to make sure you get the help you need in order to render your labor. So from here on out, you're going to hear a lot of talk about what we need to do to promote work and training for work. And I'm going to start calling myself a 5/65 Democrat.
As I see it, the great divide in this world is between people who believe that education, training, work, and opportunity are the essential ingredients to building a stronger and more prosperous nation--5/65 Democrats--and people who don't.
