A new Pew survey shows that 40 percent of Americans say they’re following news about the fiscal cliff “very closely.” That’s two times the number (21 percent) who say they’re paying close attention to the news on UN Ambassador Susan Rice‘s potential nomination for secretary of state.
Predictably, news on high-profile foreign matters were of even less interest:
Just 15% of Americans say they followed news about violence in Syria very closely; about as many very closely tracked news about political turmoil and protests in Egypt (14%) and the debate at the U.N. over the Palestinian territories (also 14%).

Dec. 4, 2012 at 2:17pmOur immediate and more pressing issue is JOBS. If Washington finally passes a decent budget headed towards balance and business knows what to expect the next few years there will be no debt problem. 22 million working Americans will generate a lot of revenue for all governments. Reduce corporate taxs to bring back manufacturing and freeze clean air standards at least todays limits. Build steel mills in right to work states. And just spend money the right way, after you get it and not before.
P.S. 2.2 trillion over ten years just doesn’t work with deficts running at 1.2>1.5 Tr. per year.
