The U.S today has many americans unhappy with the decisions thd president has made. Taxes, health cares and many other laws they are trying to pass thats not helping anything this in the long run. Our goverment is 16 trillion dollars in debt at this very moment. They are close to spending millions a day on things that aren't even neccesary.

One of the biggest problems i've personally seen on the web and news. Business people think that government is so dysfunctional that they are afraid to invest and spur growth. The stock markets are down and people are scared not knowing what to do. They want to invest money but if they take a chance that stock market may not grow.

 Lingering effects of the housing bust are still impoverishing families and economic growth. Houses are so much harder to buy in this new life since obama has taken over. Everything has raised, people are loosing jobs left and right. In my understanding you draw taxes of every worker to pay for people whom don't work.

 As for business investment shrinking because of Washington's dysfunction? That's not just a gut feeling. It's a measurable stat. And the data suggest its not really true.
