Poll: Voters Want Congress to Focus on Jobs Before Health Care

It sounds like the Republicans are "playing politics" rather than worrying about the state of the economy & other important topics that the USA must deal with. We need health care legislation, we need job security & more jobs for all Americans not just the "chosen few"! Republicans get with the program, HELP THE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIKE YOU WERE VOTED & CHOSEN TO DO!!!!

Jobs can't be created by the government unless they resend dozens of trade bills that sold us down the river. Equal trade is a must, China buys 10B form us we buy 10B from them......................period! We buy 10B in oil from the Saudis they buy 10B in camel feed.........bla bla bla.....it will never happen. We have allowed our reps to sell us out, while we watch Nascar!

I laugh when I hear Obama talking about reducing regulations and red tape for businesses while at the same time he supports this ludicrous health care reform that is NOTHING but regulations and red-tape for businesses. Until we dump this turkey and get down to REAL health care reform, jobs will just dribble in.

The continuing onslaught of government regulation has been a drag on the employment situation. The jobs picture will be helped by repealing Health Care Reform. The cost of this ill-conceived program is one factor preventing business from spending and investing in hiring.

Repeal ObamaCare
Open up off-shore drilling
Keep taxes low

As was often said by the Libs/Progs/Dems, about President Obama, I do believe that the Republicans, too, can walk and chew gum at the same time. No problem here, fighting the attempt to cherry pick and fix the incomprehensible mess known affectionately as "Obamacare," while addressing the unemployment rate and the housing mess that continues to bog down our economy.

Hmmm seems as if unemployment was going up before the healthcare passage but since it passed unemployment has started to come down. Check the facts. Our country is better now than it was two years ago. Lets go forward not to the gloom and doom of two years ago.

Rupublicans are doing exactly what they promised the voters and that is repealing the Obama health plan. That is going to prevent the loss of thousands of jobs that employers would shed if this plan goes through. The US Government has regulated this country right out of work. I work in the health care field and I've seen costs increase dramatically due to unnecessary regulations that accomplish absolutly nothing except to increase the cost of health care. The overregulation combined with unbelievably stupid trade agreements have reduced us to a country struggling to just get by. Meanwhile China regulates its currency and the Chinese government subsidizes its companies to sell to the US at a loss to put the US businesses out of work. Wake up America!

This is true I hav done reserch.
U thing the president of China would come over sniffing around 2 help the Average working class American we R getting set up

Silly people. We have ALWAYS had "universal coverage"--with the uninsured running up your bills from the ER. The "forced insurance" just means that the uninsured won't get a free ride, while getting care in the most expensive and least efficient way. The GOP is going to lose big if they waste a lot of time on this issue.

The reason there are no jobs has absolutely nothing to do with the heath care bill. It has only recently started to be implemented. there is a lot of great things in it that we all wanted for many years. It's not perfect, but at least a start. The reason there aren't any jobs stem from the Bush banking crisis, not to mention a costly war we didn't need.

Republicans never have listened to "the people." They listen to big business. The big business interests do not want health care reform, so out it goes. The Republicans did what they could to stop and then cripple true health care reform when they were the minority in the house. Now as majority, they kill it. Look at Boehner and company laugh. They have their health care and big salaries and staff and are well fed by the lobbyists. Listen to the people, ha!
