Democratic leaders yesterday sent their strongest signals yet that they were eager to pass a jobs-creation and benefits-extension package to help stop the economic and political bleeding caused by a 10 percent official unemployment rate, the worst in a generation.
They have to promote job growth, in part, to stem looming anti-incumbent rage. That anger is also being fed by the faux populism of the "tea baggers" and GOP-driven attacks, no matter how distorted, on the credibility and impact of President Obama's original $787 billion stimulus bill.
