The party of no and the businesses that prefer the US to operate like a Third World country are teaming up to set the country back a few more years. Let's see how voters respond to their backwards policies. By failing to drive home the reality that the problems of the day were created by and owned by the GOP, the Democrats paid a heavy price. Yes, Clinton and his team worked closely with the Republicans and they have their fair share of ownership of the problem but how does one miss the fact that this economic crisis is the end result of decades of poor policy?

The Republican gains in Congress mean U.S. companies from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to Wellpoint Inc. may be able to weaken or block what they consider President Barack Obama’s anti-business policies on health care, the environment, taxes and financial reform.

“Americans voted for jobs and economic growth” and “resoundingly rejected” Obama policies, Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest business lobbying group, said in a statement last night.
