Keep an eye on standard of living along with employment numbers. 100% employment is meaningless if 95% of those people are unable to afford a home and educate their children. Gutting the institutions that provide financial security for hard working people makes it a lot easier to hire, no doubt. Shifting the profit margin from employee to employer will always makes it easier to hire. Policy would be simple if 'any employment' were the only criteria.
I don't favor the Dems recall idea any more than I favor constant filibusters by the GOP. The real problem is that the GOAL isn't to employ a thriving middle class of hard workers. The Dems want to coddle slackers and the GOP wants to shift as much income as possible to .5% of the population. Until that gets fixed, the rest is all theater...
