NMPolitics - National economic growth is at a standstill. Large cuts in federal programs loom ahead. New Mexico is highly dependent on federal dollars to float our economy. The federal government spends over three dollars on us for every dollar New Mexicans send to Washington. Hang on to your hats, because as tough as it is to find a job in New Mexico now, it could get much worse. While it may take a year or more for the federal cutbacks to ripple through our economy, it will also take that long for any new state-driven job creation policies to have an impact. We need decisive action now. We need to act on multiple fronts. We need to focus. Nothing else is as urgent. Here are a few concrete ideas to help get us on track.

So NOW it's time to focus on jobs? Evidently we've moved past the time to protect illegal aliens and kill jobs with silly claims that the environment will be damaged if the oil and gas industry drills where lizards live. What does Steve Fischmann intend to do about those job killing efforts? Many of us wonder if this is just more political posturing to give the appearance that he and other members of his party actually care. I'm inclined, based on past performance, to believe this is nothing more than CYA tactics, political chatter and head fakes. I'll believe they're serious about job creation when they tell the environmental groups something akin to what Maxine Waters said about the Tea Party. Now...how did she put it? Fat chance of that ever happening.

The only job Fischmann cares about is his own job. What the voters want Fischmann to do is persuade others to vote against issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens and put an end to the environmental scams associated with lizards and small fish that kill jobs and destroy families...of humans! Walk the walk instead of talking the talk. Talk is not only cheap but it's boring and ineffective.
