Absolutely; that's why I used the words "real jobs."

First, the problem wasn't just Wall Street; the problem was that Wall
Street spoke loud + clear and our side didn't.  Second, I'm looking for
more than just a slogan.  What are the top five actions we'd want taken to
create good jobs for all (and, of course, build institutions that will 
help us keep on fighting)?  I think it's important to frame each proposal
so that it's catchy or it grabs people, but "Putting People FIrst" doesn't
give any real sense of what to do.
