"Krugman says that Jeb Bush subscribes to ideas put forth in a book called, “Coming Apart,” which talks about rising income inequality and a lack of good jobs, as being consequences of straying from traditional values. The author of that book, Charles Murray (a complete idiot), believes that government programs enable this decline in values, because “men no longer need to work to survive.”
In other words, Murray thinks, at least insofar as that statement goes, that people really should live to work, rather than work to live. This is the mentality that Krugman says Jeb labors under, which is where his remark that Americans just need to work longer hours, so they can bring more home to their families, comes from.
Krugman isn’t the only person of prominence to rip Jeb Bush for this. Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, also did it. He flat-out said he didn’t think much of Jeb’s comments. He also said that 80 percent of working men are working more than 40 hours a week, along with 66 percent of women and he reminded everyone that Jeb does not support raising the minimum wage, pay equality, or more stringent overtime laws that would open up time and a half pay for millions more workers."
