It will stimulate the economy for people to go on vacation. That’s the logic of congressional Democrats who plan to introduce legislation guaranteeing workers a paid vacation.
The Paid Vacation Act is the brainchild of Alan Grayson (D-FL), whose district includes parts of the mega-vacation venue of Orlando.
How will doing nothing create wealth? That’s a question that doesn’t seem to occur to the Democrats. The answer is that it doesn’t – with one exception: It would create more wealth if the Democrats in Congress were to do nothing.
“There’s a reason why Disney World is the happiest place on Earth: The people who go there are on vacation,” said Grayson, a freshman who counts Orlando as part of his home district. “Honestly, as much as I appreciate this job and as much as I enjoy it, the best days of my life are and always have been the days I’m on vacation.”
Yes, and the best days of our lives may also be while Grayson is on vacation.
