I'm agreeing with you (I hope that makes you as uncomfortable as it does me!). The idea that cutting pay in order to employ more people will ever work in a sweeping manner across the entire economy is daft. It's the ultimate blunt instrument.
Where there is a recognised shortage and there is a pool of suitably skilled labour available then it can work but where there's no shortage and/or no available labour then it's a daft idea.
