Do Not Disturb

Americans Are Still Struggling, While President Obama And Democrats Are Nowhere To Be Found

• President Obama and Washington Democrats have “checked out” when it comes to fixing the economy.

• After four years without the Senate passing a budget, over a year without a Jobs Council meeting, and an Inaugural Address devoid of any economic focus, it’s clear they have forgotten that Americans are still suffering under their failed economic policies.

• Mr. President, Americans throughout the country will tell you that the economy is not fixed. They are still hurting and they want real leadership that will create jobs and bring fiscal sanity back to Washington.

Senate Democrats Last Passed A Budget On April 29, 2009. “The Senate last passed a traditional budget on April 29, 2009, and lawmakers have relied on short-term stopgap measures to fund the federal government’s operations since the measure expired.” (Chris Moody, “House Republicans To Senate Democrats: Pass A Budget And We’ll Increase The Debt Limit,” Yahoo News, 1/18/13)

 Obama’s Job Council Hasn’t Met Since January 2012. “President Barack Obama’s Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting. … The group, formally known as the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, last convened on Jan. 17, 2012 for a White House session where it presented formal recommendations to Obama.” (Josh Gerstein, “Obama Jobs Council Hits 1 Year Without Official Meeting,” Politico, 1/18/13)
