[lbo-talk] Newsweek Poll: 57 percent say government spending on jobs should be top priority

[CGreen7223 at aol.com]

57 percent say federal government spending to create jobs should be top  
priority, while 37 percent say deficit reduction should be top priority. And 
yet  the top priority of the politicians is to slash medicare and social 
security. I  thought I heard Evan Bayh say something on "Morning Joe" the other 
day about how  the polls show that voters are really concerned about the 
deficit,  that they are concerned about the spending Democrats have engaged  
in. Presumably "public opinion" for Bayh consists of Wall Street, the bond  
market, etc.
