The Jobs Dilemma

Since the Democrats lost a seat in the Senate in Massachusetts, they have been scrambling to explain it as a one time event, like voter frustration with the current situation and the state of the economy. The President seems to be taking it in strides but he has not yet acknowledged the fact that the Job situation has contributed to a large effect to the defeat.

The President keeps on insisting on the health care bill but the Job Market is the most important one issue that he has been struggling to get his hands on. He is a very smart guy so he should be able to figure out that if people don’t have jobs, how they will be able to afford the health care that the Democrats are so keen to pass through. If the seat of the late Senator Kennedy is not safe in one of the most liberal states of the nation, then which seat is safe? Somebody said it long time ago, it’s the economy. If I don’t have a job I would not go out of the way to get health insurance. With what money I will get my health insurance from. No job, no money, no Health insurance, no votes for Democrats. It is just the warning. I hope that the Democrats don’t squander this opportunity (being in a majority of both houses and in the White House). If they believe that they are the party of the populists then they should start hearing from the main street people and not blindly follow whatever bill they may be given to vote.
