Sam Brownback: “So that is telling us that companies are not putting on temps? Is that what you are saying to us?”

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback apologized today for what he called his staff overreaction to a tweet.

I wanted to engage my colleague from North Dakota because there is a strong base of bipartisan support to do this, and I also believe there is a strong majority community across America that supports this. Don't get it out there so wild…

The signal this Democratic Congress is sending is clear: We'll spend whatever taxpayer money it takes to save a government job; the rest of you American workers can take a hike.

We cannot expect small, mid-size or even larger businesses to take on large numbers of additional employees when the government is raising the cost for employing them gainfully.
