A 3-letter word – jobs! ~ By Craig R. Smith

Smith Posted: October 19, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 When America elects representatives and dispatches them to Washington, it does so with the belief those servants will focus on the issues affecting us all in our day-to-day lives. The group currently serving in the Capitol has failed grossly and is now just outright ignoring the people. The No. 1 priority of the people is the economy. It's ahead of the wars, health care, the budget deficit, terrorism, climate change, energy independence, etc., and by a huge margin. The data is overwhelming, regardless of what poll you read. Jobs and the economy are so far ahead of the other issues, one would think all we would see coming out of D.C. is legislation to get our economy back on track. Yet you see everything other than the economy capturing the attention of the president and Congress. Climate change and health care consume current leadership while one in 10 Americans are unemployed and as much as 7 percent more are underemployed. Why would our leaders not focus on the No. 1 priority of the people? There can only be two plausible explanations. First, they just don't care. Damn the people. They are in power, and they will do what they want. Or second, they are powerless to get the economy back on track and, as such, want to divert attention away from their weakness. What happened to "Yes we can"? But there may be a third, more sinister explanation. Current leadership appears very content with the prospect of making everyone in the country dependent upon government for their every need. [Emphasis my own] If I wanted to be a conspiracy theorist, I would say this is a master plan to make us all their modern-day slaves to work in the fields and factories for the benefit of the ruling class. But I have too much confidence in the spirit of America to believe the people would ever allow that to occur. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]
