Brent Budowsky: American jobs NOW
The Hill’s Brent Budowsky recently shared a strong call to action for President Obama: create American jobs NOW:
President Obama should address the nation from the Oval Office, calling for a bipartisan deal to create more jobs in 2011 and lower the deficit beginning in 2012. He should do this now. Leaders lead. Strong presidents use the bully pulpit to define the debate and rally the nation to action and confidence.
Budowsky believes that the current administration’s neglect of this important issues is nothing short of “sickening”—and that future candidates should take note:
“I will not sell the jobless out, sell the jobless short or sell the jobless down the river. I am appalled, sickened, angry, disgusted and outraged by the shameful neglect of jobless Americans that corrupts this capital and poisons our economy while small minds say we have no options, and cold hearts ignore what is happening to our people.
For Democrats and Republicans running in 2012, I warn you: The great reckoning is coming.”
