Donnelly cited some in Congress as biggest obstacle to future job creation Wednesday, October 9, 2013 Washington, D.C.—Today, Gallup reported that Americans are now more likely to name dysfunctional government as the most important problem facing our country. From Frank Newport’s article on the polling data, “Thirty-three percent of Americans cite dissatisfaction with government and elected representatives as the nation's top issue, the highest such percentage in Gallup's trend dating back to 1939. Dysfunctional government now eclipses the economy (19%), unemployment (12%), the deficit (12%), and healthcare (12%) as the nation's top problem.” Source: Gallup: “Dysfunctional Gov't Surpasses Economy as Top U.S. Problem” Last week, Senator Joe Donnelly spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate, citing some in Congress as the biggest obstacle to future job creation and outlining how Congress’ dysfunction is hurting the U.S. and Indiana economies.
