I think the republicans in congress allowing the American Jobs Act would have been a huge boon to the unemployment numbers and economy. For those looking for a plan from Obama/dems, that's just one example.

And even in those 2 years with house/senate control, dems didn't have a filibuster proof majority and the repubs were being intransigent. So the dems majority was crippled by a repub side that was unwilling to compromise the majority of time. Blaming things on the republicans in congress is not a garbage argument at all...it's the truth. It's a testament how the filibuster is not fit for today's governing, and how the system of legislating needs to me updated to account for this polarized congress.
