I agree with you about the GOP should concentrate on jobs!
I think that is the real elephant in the room. It is a difficult and loosing argument to go against entitlements with so much unemployment. To do so in this environment really makes Republicans look cold-hearted. And, I still think the majority of folks really do want to work at a decent full-time job. Obama has destroyed that dream of all young Americans, and it is a travesty.
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! And then repeat after me - Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!
It's not the government's job to create jobs....that's for the private sector.
