In the short term, there is an inverse relationship between employment and debt/deficits.

Yes, more people working means more tax revenue, which means lower deficits. It's a much bigger stretch to say that lowering deficits puts more people to work, especially when the GOP plan to reduce those deficits is generally to take money out of the hands of the poor and lay off large numbers of state and federal workers.
