     One difference between the Democratic and Republican parties is how they deal with jobs and job growth. With so many people without jobs, people want the government to do something about their situations. While both parties of the government have ideas for what to do, they differ in their ideology on what those ideas are. The Republican party prefers to cut back on government spending and focus more on making America more competitive with other countries instead of directly aiding those who are unemployed, like stated here: "The tax system must be simplified. Government spending and regulation must be reigned in. American companies must be more competitive in the world market..." The Democratic party, on the other hand, prefers to spend more money to aid people who are not employed by helping them find jobs or temporarily helping them financially as shown here: "We have already enacted key parts of the American Jobs Act-payroll tax relief, tax credits for business...a 'Bridge To Work' to help the long-term unemployed reconnect with the labor force."
