"Representatives of MoveOn, Rebuild the Dream and the Center for Economic Policy and Research will join Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) on Tuesday to launch a progressive “Contract for the American Dream” to urge the administration and Congress to turn away from budget cutting and focus on job creation (aka a new stimulus)"--Do you think this path is a good path?

No. The jobs market will improve when the economy improves. It is private sector business that create jobs, not Congress nor the president. However, a lower credit rating may have an impact on the government providing jobs. Especially since they have to cut spending. The easiest fastest way to reduce cost is to cut personnel.
Obama's stimulus saved over 3 million jobs and averted a depression.
There cannot be anything wrong with a like-minded approach by others, but Obama is the man to decide IMHO.
The Fed has basically frozen rates for 2 years as of today, admitting that slow economic growth is endemic right now.
Obama is not at fault here at all. It is the Bush 43 'hangover' and the huge debt he built up with terrible discretion to say the least.
It STILL is costing the USA big time and all of the debt attributed to Obama, $ 1.4 Trillion, is the only way Obama has been able to keep the ship afloat after Bush took a sledgehammer to the lower deck and it's been leaking bad ever since !!
History has proven that freaking out over deficits in a once-in-a-lifetime financial crisis only extends the crisis. Build jobs first. More jobs means more tax revenue while simultaneously lowering pressure on the social safety net. Get jobless rate to 6% then focus on the spending cuts and revenue enhancements.
YES taxes must go up.
Creating temporary jobs was tried an failed,We could go wide open on drilling an replace the million jobs BHO destroyed.He will do it but closer to election time .This man is a snake just watch him.
Jobs are secondary to the deficit!
If the deficit is so high that it can bankrupt us then employers aren't going to invest here if they believe they may lose out. It increases risk for them.

Want to attract liberals? Have smelly feet.
It’s fairly well understood liberals are attracted to conservatives from afar by the carbon dioxide we exhale. But it turns out that when they get close to humans they’re attracted by an altogether different scent.
Yes, liberals are podophiles. In recent years African scientists, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, have found that bacteria living on the human foot produce 10 specific odors that are attractive to Socialist Liberals.
Then, earlier this year, a graduate student from the Netherlands discovered that five of these 10 microbial odors can block the liberals' response to CO2, diverting the bugger's attention to close-range foot odors.
Now theconservatives, in conjunction, with the tea party , has taken the next step and provided a two-year, $1,775,000.00 grant to Dr. Fredros Okumu (of the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania) to develop liberal traps using this information.
