This Washington Post columnist hit a home run today with his passionate denunciation of Republicans' use of "job-killing" as a hot button description of Democratic policies to distract from the job-killing aspect of their own policies.
Here is Pearlstein's stirring conclusion: "So the next time you hear some politician or radio blowhard or corporate hack tossing around the "job-killing" accusation, you can be pretty sure he's not somebody to be taken seriously. It's a sign that he disrespects your intelligence, disrespects the truth and disrespects the democratic process. By poisoning the political well and making it difficult for our political system to respond effectively to economic challenges, Republicans may turn out to be the biggest job killers of all."
