Top 6 things Republicans consider more important than job creation
WASHINGTON – Republicans won dramatic victories last November by promising to mitigate high unemployment. "This coming election is about one issue: jobs," to-be Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said weeks before election day. "It's about jobs that were promised to the American people by the current administration, and were never delivered."

But in the three months since taking over the House and expanding their voices in the Senate, Republicans have yet to pass a jobs-focused bill, instead prioritizing numerous social and cultural issues that are unrelated to job creation -- and have little or no chance of becoming policy.

Here are six such legislative goals they've been hard at work on.

2. I find it strange that
we (Dem congresscritters) are not prefacing all their remarks with "Where are the Jobs" it is a built in message and will eventually register with the public that the rebugs are not doing what they said they would do.
