Rand Paul to the Unemployed: Suck It Up

America is experiencing record unemployment. Senate candidate Rand Paul's message to the unemployed is stop bitching.

"As bad as it sounds, ultimately we do have to sometimes accept a wage that's less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work and allow the economy to get started again," Paul said. "Nobody likes that, but it may be one of the tough love things that has to happen."

Tough love is what you use on a family member who has a gambling or drug addiction. Tough love is not what you use on people that can't find jobs. Florida is suffing from 11.7 percent unemployment. The state's unemployment rate has dropped in the last two months. However, University of Central Florida economist Sean Snaith estimates 200,000 jobs could be lost because of the BP oil spill. I would like to ask where Paul believes these lost jobs could be regained. I like to see Paul put his economic tough love theory to the test.
