TWO years?

Were you in a coma prior to that?

So why don't we just call it a draw?

Uh, maybe because you've provided nothing factual?

Yeah, we have nearly 10% UE, just what we need, Congress to do nothing?

I'm talking about DURING this recession.
When the country tanks you don't go spending money you don't have.
Firing up the printing press (QEx) to give yourself money is fairly new within the past 2 years.

Congress does not create jobs. The Government does not create jobs except USG jobs. What..you want USG jobs to be created to get the UE down ?

Congress helps create an environment that induces business to hire people.

There were too many to name.

Anyone who doesn't already know must live in a vacuum.

Here's a few....

End to earmarks

Line item veto

Transparency

Close Gitmo

All bills will be posted online for 48 hours before voting on them

Concentrate on jobs

Work hard

End the wars

Feel free to add some......

Remember the 2008 election? The Democrats when into Congress and did exactly what they said they'd do. Some may not like that, but they actually accomplished a great deal of what they had promised.

The modern-day, Neo-Conservative Republican's, on the other hand, are doing exactly what they've done after every election since 1980: Giving their supporters the finger and figuring they'll forget it once again in 2012.

Judging by the responses in this thread, and several others, they're right.

Exactly.

That's why this last congress was a tremendous failure.

And with nothing being done, the business environment stays stable.
