Oh... it's not just the legislation they've blocked. It really starts with the decision to play chicken with default during the debt limit debate... resulting in the drop in our credit rating.
Huh? Not getting into more debt al a Greece or Italy was the wrong thing to do? Gotcha!
Ask one. The public seems to believe this is exactly what the Republican Tea Party is doing.
Are you as economically illiterate as the people polled in the article you cited in your OP?

Interesting. An opinion piece by Ron Paul, and an article praising Ron Paul's article, versus three different polls of American citizens expressing their views. I'll go with my fellow citizens on this one, especially since the idea of the Republicans deliberately blocking economic recovery is consistent with the stated goal of the GOP's top ranking U.S. Senator:
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." -- Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), October 25, 2010 in an interview with the National Journal.
So you are unwilling to recognize the real problems behind our economy as well which deal with our monetary policy, is that correct?
It is really revealing that not one left can substantiate the obstructionist charge, I have challenged anyone to present the economy saving legislation the Republicans have blocked, and not one little lefty can come up with one. I think it is time they retire this angle. it is so transparently false.
That's because we're trying to block job-destroying, money-grubbing legislation being put forth by the leftists who desire a second-rate, third world country.
And because our (Republican) ideas to actually improve the economy are being shot down by Harry Reid.
The public doesn't support your party's position. They believe your party is intentionally stalling economic recovery.
The Republican Tea Party has done such a poor job convincing the American voter they represent they're interests.
Are you as economically illiterate as the people polled in the article you cited in your OP?
Half the country, including a majority of self-identified independents, believe that congressional Republicans are using their political power to thwart Obama’s efforts to reduce unemployment.
Do you believe those polled are illiterate? Is that your theory? Seems like a weak theory.
Which voters? Conservative? Liberal? A bit vague, but things are upside down in this modern world, at this "late" hour. Those in the white house indeed ARE well, more than stalling recovery.
The economy stalled after obama's policies were in full blown Wreckovery mode.
Think the voters will forget obama got EVERYTHING he wanted in his first two years?
Think the GOP/RNC/Conservative groups will let them forget?
Now he wants more of the same that has already failed.
