Dubya's crew hasn't done as much to create American jobs as one might have hoped, but an elder statesmen of the Reagan revolution has a bold plan to change that: Ed Meese plans to create many, many new American jobs in prison. In prison, it seems, employers don't have to contend with the main disadvantage of hiring in America -- high labor costs -- since it is legal to pay prisoners third world wages. You might wonder how this improves the lives of anyone who's out of prison, but if you do, you're missing the point. It's good for business!
