THE lesson from yesterday's elections--It's Jobs Stupid

What is the message for Democrats from the New Jersey and Virginia elections yesterday? Simple.

IT’S JOBS STUPID

Here is a prediction. Either the Democrats and Obama get their acts together and stimulate the economy enough to bring unemployment down FAST and get it down to under 8 percent by next fall or they LOSE big time in next year’s elections. It’s that simple.

Health reform doesn’t matter. Get something passsed on health care, anything and get on to job creation. Afghanistan doesn’t matter. Make a decision, any decision that will get the most American troops as possible out of harms way and get the topic off the blogs.

Focus on what matters. And, NOTHING MATTERS but JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.

I know, the American people don’t have an appetite for another stimulus package and the Republicans are already yelling and screaming about the deficit so a second stimulus is a hard sell. Well, don’t call it a stimulus and don’t try to pass another big package. Scrape up whatever money you can find in the budget and throw it at job creation. Find Republican and Blue Dog Democrat projects they want for their home states and districts that will quickly create jobs and pass laws giving them their projects provided they get rolling and creatng jobs FAST. Offer them some tax incentives for all those small business owners provided the incentives get spent creating new jobs in the first half of next year. Do something and do it FAST.

Think--Works Progress Administration--find the money and do it FAST.

I repeat:

IT’S JOBS STUPID
