The first rule of horror movies is that the villain is nearly impossible to kill. It would appear the same is true in public policy, where the worst proposals are dismissed — only to rise again like zombies.
The latest example of this is the American Jobs Act proposed by President Obama. While the president tours the country promoting his latest jobs proposal, he is largely quiet on how the bill would breathe new life into a bad proposal, a proposal that would weaken one of the strongest programs in our nation’s entitlement system and leave American seniors to foot the bill.
