" The United States is a cabinet point 2% unemployment -- the Washington is putting its focus on reforming healthcare a huge push this weekend. With the president's scheduled to make a rare Capitol Hill visit tomorrow morning."

" Now what Americans rather that the president lawmakers. Work on creating jobs instead this weekend and not health care debt if Montana he speaks through his audience every day anywhere they say."

" Well there's a basic distrust feedback that you know government can't be trusted to wanted to run things whether it's via. The health care reform program or its the jobs situation. Clearly. You know they're they're nervous I mean America American populace is nervous I hear from every single bag and and what's happening is the kind of trickled down. Kind of thing in terms of they're worried about their own pocket books. Those of them that are lucky enough to have a job are worried that their taxes are going up with what's happening is not just the federal level the local level they're getting squeezed really really really hard. And you know tightening up of a credit standards everybody's opponent there they're they're spending. You see -- in the consumer confidence numbers. What what I'm seeing more than anything is the basic distrust of government. And then I'll believe in the leaders so -- I think I think he got the health care reform bill. I won't have to -- now.

Where somebody doesn't have a family member or friend who's lost their job. When they see the focus on health care when this rising unemployment figures and everybody's minds. I mean does that make him crazy what are they thinking what are they saying. Yeah."

" Well another reality is it's nine million jobs have been lost. From the beginning and if I went to accomplish this past."

" Anyway and they sent GM -- what are your what are your listeners saying TU. About the fact that the job."

" back."

" That they want their jobs back and look under and it's going to take a long time. It's going to be a very long hard slog. The longer you keep extending government deficits and spending that's less jobs at and you can't have it both ways that's the point so this dirt and and they don't think ten point two. Is the tax -- don't think this thing is over. -- I hear numbers like in February they're going to add another 800000 jobs lost to the books that have already been lost they haven't been accounted for yet.
