Editorial: "Take Your Jobs Plan and Shove it, Mr. President!"

Newspaper spanks Obama: ‘Shove it, Mr. President’:

"'Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough,' said a commentary in the Chattanooga Times Free Press."

Excerpt from Milton Friedman's Shovels Versus Spoons Story:

"While traveling by car during one of his many overseas travels, Professor Milton Friedman spotted scores of road builders moving earth with shovels instead of modern machinery. When he asked why powerful equipment wasn't used instead of so many laborers, his host told him it was to keep employment high in the construction industry. If they used tractors or modern road building equipment, fewer people would have jobs, was his host's logic. 'Then instead of shovels, why don't you give them spoons and create even more jobs,' Friedman inquired."
