"all of a sudden" theres this one:
Poll: Voters Want Washington to Focus on Economy, Jobs
(or: why we cant trust the US media to tell us whats _really_ important, as they broadcast cover for the FIREmen? and why do i get the feeling that since they got away with all the TRILLIONS, now _finally_ do something to 'stimulate the economy' and actually CREATE REAL JOBS, vs 'jobs saved or created')

A new poll by a left-leaning strategy group suggests that Democrats continue to underperform among some key elements of their base, including young voters, unmarried women and union households.
Those groups were vital to Democrats’ success in 2008, but they’ve been hit hard since then by continuing job-market weakness.
Republicans could now be driving those voters back into the Democratic fold by pursuing priorities in Congress such as deficit reduction that don’t directly address joblessness, according to the new poll. The poll was conducted by Democracy Corps, a project created by pollster Stan Greenberg and strategist James Carville.
“The new Congress is about to get it very wrong,” Democracy Corps warns in
a memo accompanying the poll results. The poll suggests that voters believe Washington’s top priorities should be economic recovery and jobs.
(and JUST WHERE WERE _THESE_ PEOPLE WHEN DC WAS RE-CAPITALIZING THE NY BANKS - not a phreakin word out of them till now??? - HILARIOUS!)
Cutting spending and addressing deficits also rate high among voters’ concerns. But so do protecting Social Security and Medicare – two programs that likely would be targeted by any major deficit-reduction effort. And voters appear to be easily persuaded to oppose other possible cuts too, according to the poll.
The survey shows that many voters respond favorably to the idea that government deficits are best addressed through boosting economic growth rather than spending cuts.
That could foreshadow increased use of the idea, although it’s been rejected by the Democratic co-chairman of Mr. Obama’s fiscal-responsibility panel, Erskine Bowles.
“We can’t grow our way out of this,” Mr. Bowles said last year. “We could have decades of double-digit growth and not grow our way out of this enormous debt problem.”
