On Jobs: Progressive goals should be sold as job creation

Democrats can sell progressive goals, from universal health care to criminal-justice reform, if they simply root their arguments in jobs and the economy, he argues. Ryan says that Democrats should package Medicare for all as a "jobs program" that would reduce costs and create jobs for medical professionals. He thinks the Green New Deal could be sold as a boon to job creation. (Although opposed to the resolution's federal jobs guarantee, he thinks it could drive employment in the private sector.)
