More money for all, no matter the cost.  |
That's not even close to what I said. I pretty clearly said the positive normative gains should coincide with at minimum a net neutral effect on the job market and the economy. What I do reject is the notion that these effects can be measured over the short-term. Any change entails a period of adjustment that unlikely to be linear nor free of discomfort.
