Why, pray tell, are GOP lawmakers so reluctant to use the word “labor”? (via MaddowBlog)
On Capitol Hill, members of both parties often invest a fair amount of energy into renaming things. In 2004, for example, Republicans changed the GAO’s official name from the General Accounting Office to the Government Accountability Office for reasons I’ve never fully understood.
In 1997, Republicans changed it again, renaming it the Committee on Education and the Workforce. In 2007, Democrats brought back the original name, only to have Republicans reverse course in 2011 and again this year. This actual written statement went on to say use of the word “labor” in the panel’s name “inadvertently ignores the dignity of the work of those individuals.”
