Jerry, you sound like a normal everyday republican who fails to grasp the concept of things; the survey was about congress, not the President. You should go back and look again at the question and then make a comment. The republicans ran on a platform of "we will create jobs" in 2010, they have failed to do ANYTHING of any value to ANYONE and yet there are so many people failing to realize that fact. Seems to me that someone should have their recess taken away from them. Do you agree Jerry?

Look bob, if you can come up with something, anything that has been done by the republicans of late not counting all the blocking maneuvers and crying and name calling and BS about how the country is failing and the President is doing nothing about it when he has REPEATEDLY tried to sit down with republicans and get something going, lets hear it, otherwise all you are doing now is avoiding the issue and continuing the name calling and not doing anything to change the status quot. In other words you are falling right in line with those who would send this country down the drain just to see the show. Get a life and get an idea; then share it.

old wolf your boys had complete control when obama took over and what did they get done.Oh yeah I remember 1 billion dollar bail out that will keep unemployment at 8% didn't happen.Your group took over the House and Senate in 06 and it has been down hill ever since.I seem to remember obama telling McCain we won! It didn't sound like he was wanting to set down then

bob, check your math and your history; dems did have a majority but with W still in office no way to get anything done. And again after Obama was elected still no real power due to the way the rules are set up to get anything done. Far as downhill, have you seen a news paper since W took office? 3 wars, unemployment continued a steady rise throughout his terms, terms he won by whining to the supreme court and having them stop counting ballots by the way. The bank "fail" that we had to bail out that W started the ball rolling for; both the fail and the bail out. Don't get me started on the failed policies W started and the billions of $ lost as a result. I am not saying dems are not at fault but as a result of failed policy from W and the continuing blocking just to block from the current republican idiocracy if you have something to say that will help then say it, otherwise stop name calling, blaming Obama just because he is a dem and black and think of something that might be worth saying that might help.

First, the "Super Committee" was comprised of six Democrats and six Republicans. Kind of hard to blame either party for a mutual failure.
Second, When G.W. Bush assumed the presidency, the budget was in the black by about $300 billion. When he left, we were in the red by $10 trillion. Currently, we are overspending annually by about $14 trillion. Our total public debt is $132 T R I L L I O N.
To put this in perspective, it is likely that within the next 10 years, our government will be so far in debt, that at the current expenditures as opposed to tax revenue, we will not be able to pay even the interest on our debt if we applied every tax dollar the treasury takes in. Every dollar paid in taxes, by every person and corporation in the country will not cover the interest on our loans.
It seems to me to be clear that #1 we need to cut spending. and in addition,#2) we need to increase revenue through an increase in taxes. In 1950, the top tax bracket was 91% on every dollar over $400,000 (in 1950 dollars/married filing jointly). Of course, there were also 24 tax brackets with the lowest being 17.4%. The top bracket didn't fall below 50% until the 70's.
A meager raise on the wealthy is not going to kill the economy.
