Does Congress Truely Represent Americans?

[Rick Rowlands]

Interesting.  The "latest" CBS News poll is about body scanners at airports.

But to address your "poll" Dennis, its a sad state of affairs in this country when the populace has been brainwashed to think that it is the government's role to create jobs.

Reducing the deficit, and changing the tax code goes hand in hand with creating jobs. Oh, that's right Dennis; I forgot, you think jobs are created by the government spending money.

Only 6% of Americans think Congress should concentrate on reducing the deficit or changing the tax code, according to the latest CBS News poll. Nearly ten times as many people, 56%, want it to focus on creating jobs and fixing the economy. You'll hear a lot of talk about the deficit. But creating jobs and spurring economic growth? Nobody's even discussing it. Thank you GOP and Democrats!
