The Democrats and Obama have been focusing on jobs and the economy since Day 1. And you see the results.
It would certainly set better with me if they dropped the 'jobs' nonsense. The last thing I want from government is a job. Keep the peace, do some justice and leave me alone. That's all I'm looking for.
They've done all they can do about the job situation anyway. As Bernanke said, "we're out of bullets." Now it would be nice if the private sector stepped up, since they're the ones doing all the bitching and moaning. They're not going to see their own profits (sales) increase until people start spending again, and they won't do that until the same bitchers and moaners start hiring.
So they should hire people just because?
At elast you admit that gov't cannot solve this problem. That's one step anyway.
