Mitch Daniels vs Labor

Forget he said this:

“I am a supporter of the labor laws we have in the State of Indiana, and I’m not interested in changing any of them. Certainly not the prevailing wage law. And certainly not the right to work law. We can succeed in Indiana respecting the rights of labor and fair and free competition for everyone.”

And forget this:

"The late Steve Jobs — what a fitting name he had — created more of them than all those stimulus dollars the president borrowed and blew."

Jobs created jobs, but not in the USA.

And this:

Daniels oversaw the federal budget as it was making its historic reversal from a $236 billion surplus – then on a trajectory to eliminate the entire federal debt in a decade – to a $400 billion deficit by the time Daniels left the Office of Management and Budget in June 2003.

Plus, because of proposals developed on Daniels’s watch – such as tax cuts favoring the rich and unpaid-for projects, including the invasion of Iraq and a new prescription drug plan – the fiscal situation of the federal government continued to deteriorate over the ensuing years, becoming a trillion-dollar-plus annual deficit by the time Bush left the White House in 2009.
