Yeah, Obama is tearing it up all right.
Maybe if the Cons in the House would pass a viable budget the economy will get around to improving quicker, but that would distract from using the situation of Americans as attack material in their power play. You do know people know where much of the problem lies don't ya, slow learning has always been a trait of righties. Yes keep playing games while Rome burns, just remember People are watching your actions, Voting People.
Any one of you RW whackjobs ever gonna realize the Government does not create jobs, even your new wonder boy Cruz said so at the GOP National Convention?
Someone should have told the government that when they instructed the Fed to concentrate on employment.

You are correct, except the the government has not really done all that much about unemployment since they do not create jobs the private sector does, but they are good at talking about it. Many large companies are sitting on Billions in cash but will not invest it in R&D and manufacturing, do you know why? It is because there is no budget which makes for an uncertain market and business climate. Sooooo, as soon as the House stops playing childish games and passes a rational budget and the Senate stops playing their games and works it out with the House, the President will be able to get the Bill passed and the recovery will kick in quickly and BANG Jobs are created. Any more I can clear up for ya? Try to remember the facts when you vote.

If there was a profit in expanding or hiring right now the companies would do it. People know that all this money the government is using to fill the coffers of big business has to be paid back so they are not spending. If they do not spend the companies have no incentive to expand.
It's really simply and has nothing to do with the budget.

The House has passed many budgets.
Wow you have no idea how the budget and the business world are interconnected, sorry go take a lesson in economics, far too much to teach you here.
Sorry, but Partisan BS budgets do not count as passing budgets or as doing their JOB.
Because both sides of the aisle pretty much suck and bow to their respective owners.
Very true, sad to say. But then again it us, the voters, that are to blame since we continue to allow it. Step 1: Abolish the Lobby system.
