House Democratic leaders, worried they’ve appeared unresponsive to rising unemployment because they were absorbed by healthcare, are aiming for a legislation solution by Christmas.
That focus follows a similar shift in the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told colleagues he also plans to bring up a jobs measure, The Hill reported first last week.
The House change began Monday night when leaders scheduled AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect, to address the House Democratic Caucus.
And it could end with an economic package on the floor sometime in December, Democratic sources said.
But some leadership aides cautioned that leaders are still debating whether to do one large package or a series of smaller bills.

These jackasses are killing us with all their so called help. People should expect to receive the exact opposite of what the democrats promise. America would be better off if every single one of these idiots left the capitol on a permanent vacation.
Wow. Did Pelosi figure it out all by herself that since she’s giving America Health Care insurance for Christmas, she’ll have to give us jobs so we have to buy it? And I suppose these jobs will be paid with freshly printed dollars.
God save us, this is just like ancient Rome in it's final days
Your friend has it right.
There is no limit to the lunacy that Obama & the dems are trying to force down our throats.
The illegals are going to get whatever the dems can give them to buy their votes after they by a stroke of a pen give them all the citizenship benefits.
“People are devising ways to not be citizens.”
Oh dont worry about that. Obama will have everyone chipped so he can keep track of all of us when social security runs out in 10 years (Beck said it was 30 but doubt it will even last that long).
