What does any of this have to do with Boehner? The "tax cuts" were signed by Obama.

The Obama cuts were for individuals, not business.
Production has slowed because inventories are high.
No one buying, then no need for employees.

Vicious circle.

Sad that people think the government has control over the economy.
They only have control over the environment in which business operates and then only to a limited degree.

The Obama cuts were passed by a Dem Congress at the end of 2010 and signed by a Dem President who added an additional payroll tax cut.

And yet it's Boehner's fault ?
It's either really funny or really sad...depending on how you look at it.

Boehner and the republicans share the blame now with the economy since they now have control of the house.

Before you could blame dems since they had majorities in every area.

The blame is split now with a republican house and democratic senate. Hopefully the lackies for each party can at least admit that now.

More jobs have been created in 5 months under Boehner than in 4 years under his predecessor.

Once the children (obama, reid and their minions) are out of power, America can begin to recover.

After Boehner and House Republicans INSISTED on them and threatened congressional gridlock on budget legislation.

So yea, he signed to EXTEND THE BUSH TAX CUTS as a political compromise, sometihng the Republicans might learn how to do every once in a while.
