Poll: Reducing Unemployment More Important Than Reducing Deficit
By an overwhelming margin of more than 3-to-1 Americans think that reducing unemployment is more important than reducing the budget deficit, according to a new national Quinnipiac poll released yesterday.
71% of all respondents said it is more important to reduce unemployment, while only 23% said it’s more important to reduce the deficit. And the massive consensus on this question emerged from every political preference, every age group and every income level.
Responding to the question (number 25 in the survey) “What do you think is more important – reducing the federal budget deficit or reducing unemployment?”:
80% of Democrats, 67% of Republicans and 68% of Independents said reducing unemployment is more important.
Only 15% of Democrats, 28% of Republicans and 26% of Independents said reducing the federal deficit is more important.
Elsewhere the survey also found large majorities favoring substantial additional federal programs to create jobs, invest in infrastructure and boost hiring.
The consensus among serious economists that more large-scale job-creating stimulus is needed to address the unemployment crisis is shared by the American people. Big time.

This is what I wrote to my supposed “representative government”
Are you tired of hearing from me and wish I would just go away? Maybe I’d slip back into obscurity IF I COULD FIND A MEANS TO CONTINUE LIVING! Instead, I spend my days uselessly seeking reasonable employment and researching why I can’t find it, despite the promises made by Capitalistic propaganda my whole life.
I thought we had a mostly fair system. I was wrong. I am learning that by a series of legislation, the country is nothing more than a corporation, with citizens as collateral for obscene debt waged upon us by greedy sovereigns. War is one means to divide the masses to keep us quelled into missing the fraud upon the American people. The continued use of FIAT money is the tool to capture wealth from middle class workers, redistributing it to the sovereigns. And we elect YOU to protect us from abuse from the elite.
You and your co-conspirators have failed. When you allow broken promises to all the classes at once, did you expect us to recoil in humiliation of not being good enough for the means to life, begging for substandard wages and excessive work hours to contribute to the middle class demise?
But now that I know I am collateral for a debt I did not agree to repay, I’m demanding to be maintained. Whereas I have never felt a sense of entitlement before, I realize that just like a homeowner under a mortgage is required to keep the home in good repair, it is Government’s fiduciary responsibility to the sovereigns to keep its labor force fed, housed and healthy.
I always dismissed conspiracy theories until I had time to research history. Now I see a tangled web of deceit, greed and cover-up, recognizing my responsible to communicate this truth to anyone who will listen. Thank you for your part in encouraging my education, perhaps causing an overhaul to status quo, instigated by millions of people losing their means to live.
Some of us “won’t be fooled again”.
ps – to the reader, before you dismiss me as crazy, research the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the US bankruptcy of 1930 and tell me the difference between bills beginning with a “H” and those prefixed with a “HR”?
