DeMint unveils the Calvin Coolidge development plan: eliminate government and jobs appear, and roads magically fix themselves.

 What a simpleton:

ANDERSON — U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint said Monday that the best thing the federal government can do to help people recover from the recession is to get out of their way.

DeMint, a Republican from Greenville, was in Anderson to give an update on activities in Washington, D.C. But he said the people who have the most influence in what the county and state become are the leaders at the local and state level.

“When you send out the message that South Carolina is the best place to do business,” he said, “the roads, the schools, the other problems take care of themselves.”

Speaking to a group at the Civic Center of Anderson, DeMint said he supports a “constitutionally limited government” that has less of a regulatory reach.
