So 2010 is all about jobs, fiscal responsibility and the deficit but not immigration reform?

And people think am a cynic when I say Democrats are not going to do anything that will shake the "all enforcement, all the time" nativist framing of Comprehensive Immigration Reform. From Coming Up In 2010: All About The Deficit | TPMDC:

Top aides on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue say 2010 will be the year of fiscal responsibility, even if President Obama has to battle with progressive Democrats to make cuts they won't like.

"Next year the focus will be jobs and fiscal responsibility," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told TPMDC in a briefing with two reporters Thursday.

Hoyer (D-MD) said one reason Democrats are having a tough time one year before the Congressional midterm elections is that voters are concerned about the nation's fiscal health, and they also want to see the unemployment rate shrink.

You see what happened here? A Democrat swallowed whole an extreme-right talking point and ran with it.

Let's see how so-called Liberals and Progresives try to unframe that one.

...We've gone from first to twelfth in world wages. We've had four years where we have produced no private sector jobs. Most people are working harder for less money than they were making ten years ago.

It is because we are in the grip of a failed economic theory. And this decision you are about to make better be about what kind of economic theory you want, not just people saying I'm going to go fix it but what are we going to do? I think what we have to do is invest in American jobs, American education, control American health care costs, and bring the American people together again.
