While I'm still bit skeptical that they'll figure out the right way to do it, it is encouraging that they're being pretty unequivocal about the fact that jobs are more important than the deficit.
More than that, take care of jobs and you take care of a big chunk of the deficit.
One can never know these things for sure, of course, but one big disappointing thing was that they seemed to have no "Plan B" in place for the economy, and in fact thought they'd turned things around.
