A month and a half ago the main term that had got the focus of Senators was debt. They raised quite a hue and cry on debt looming large on the horizon. Now the scenario has changed from debt to jobs.
With the heavy weight of debt off their shoulders the Democrat and Republicans will have to stave off anxieties of voters back home and quell the fears of unemployment facing them this fall. The 12 member deficit reduction committee held its session on Thursday to approve a deficit cut of 1.5 trillion by Thanksgiving.
According to Virginian Republican, Eric Cantor the focus is now on creation of jobs; whereas the past two quarters and a half were concentrated on cuts to stave off the debt facing the economy. According to Republicans, this change in focus from debt to jobs is a natural next step to cutting expenditure.
