Forget about the debt... Focus on jobs....

In 2011 everyone was relieved that the fiscal cliff was kicked down the road until 2013... And that jobs, jobs, jobs. But here we are over a year later, and millions of people are going to be losing their unemployment insurance... Last year was a tough year.... this year is going to be tougher if you can't find a job...

with hardly any objection.

In the near future, he's going to sign the pending let's-ship-even-more-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreement, the TPP, with hardly anyone noticing it.

We've heard how the economy, with the addition of low-wage jobs, is somehow causing a recovery.

Maybe it would be a good idea if he stopped extending the job-transferring "free-trade" agreements to even more countries.
