I seriously doubt that enthusiasm about the makeup of Congress will awaken the economy, however great that enthusiasm might be ...

what WILL awaken the economy is IF that Congress can get the government off the backs of business and individuals in this country ... right now, the greatest impediment to recovery is the uncertainty of what the government is going to do next ... most people and businesses are sitting on their hands, waiting to learn the answer ...

Thank You Mr Obama,Mr Reid and Mrs Pelosi........fugging clowns.

I agree with Steve.Predictability and sanity are a rare commodity at all levels of government these days.Finding sanity in DC is equivalent to finding a diamond in a goats azz........rare indeed.

I think the current, bigest impediment to recovery is that customers are not spending like they used to and a large percentage of them are unemployed.

Unemployed or underemployed thousands or the trillions that are on the sidelines waiting to develop a 5 year plan...hmmmmm..even if all those people had the jobs and were making what they were making before it wouldn't equal the money corporations have laying in wait and besides people were all giddy with personal debt to a level that the government is now. Spend spend spend isn't a way to run a household.

The Kenyan King has already showed his hand to the corporate world. He wants their piggy banks and thinks he can control free enterprise with a bunch of SEIU thugs. The man is an embarrassment to the Office and anyone with half a brain was telling you he was a socialist toolbag before he was anointed. Getting rid of his policies and spending will be the path to right the economy. Tighten up the bottom with tax breaks...making the permanent would've been the best way to show he was serious but he put a band-aid in place. He went back on a campaign promise.

Obama still has veto power. Anything the republican congress tries to pass can still be overturned. The next election will be more of a barometer to answer this question when we see if a conservative president is elected and more Dem seats are replaced with Conservative ones . If this is the case, then I believe you will see a stronger upturn economically as a rise in taxation will be curtailed and spending will be squelched.......or better be. If not, we are headed for tougher economic times ahead. People need to wise up and realize this country will not prosper if Gov't handouts become more prevalent. Letting the taxpayer keep more of their own money will be the driving force in a prosperous economic recovery. The Gov't CANNOT make the economy better with any spending stimulous. This country is at a crucial point in it's history, and what happens politically in the next 2 years will have an impact for many generations and will determine the future of the USA as whe know it or knew it.

Obama doesn't even need veto power. The Democrats still control the US Senate. The catch phrase now will be "Republican obstruction" although the reality is the Democrats couldn't accomplish anything with control of the Presidency and both houses of congress for the last two years.


The US is still a business-unfriendly environment right now. The Republicans taking the US House just stopped the trend of becoming even more business-unfriendly.

Consumers are sitting on their cash due to uncertainty or excessive debt.

Businesses are sitting on huge amount of cash but will not deploy it in a business-unfriendly environment because there is no expectation of growth. Businesses tightened their belts a couple of years ago and either folded already or are in decent shape to just wait it out.

The Obama economic model of replacing corporate and consumer spending with government spending has already failed.
