For years Americans have pondered the mystery of how to create more jobs. Turns out we've been thinking about it all wrong: What we need are fewer jobs.

Billionaire investor and author Ken Fisher explains in Forbes -- the Christmas Eve issue, on newsstands soon! -- that "Job Growth Is Overrated."

OK, this is a good start: It is good to acknowledge right up front .........

PS, Mr. Fisher is an idiot.
