Economy Focus:: JOBs!!!

Question: If the ‘message sent by the public to Washington, DC was “jobs!, Jobs!, JOBS!”; then where are all these sidebar issues coming from?

And, If the Republicans are trying to link ‘tax cuts’ to job creation and the economy; then why was dealing with healthcare and the delivery system was not an important exercise in dealing with America’s debt?

I have recently heard the Republican tout about a message or mandate they think they have been given in the recent election on 2 November; but failed (for 2 years) to recognize the same mandate the Democrats had been given in previous elections of 2008 and 2006. Read More

It has been a while since I visited the NASA site.  I went there today and it look’s like they moved their images to a new location called: www.nasa.org .  They still have lots of great images and have incorporated new web tools that will allow you to work with the images a little on line.  Check the site for great space pictures.
