He had an aggressive jobs bill that never saw the light of day. He had a GOP led Congress the leadership of which stated publicly that their #1 priority was denying President Obama a second term. One might think that their n#1 priority would be to serve the nation or at the least the state they represented. But not these guys. Their top priority was to deny Obama any success whatsover.
As for outcomes, look at Reagan. Allowed massive public spending and voila - straight Keynesian recovery. GOP said nuh-uh, Obama gets no success even if that means hurting US citizens. This is not hard. This is not brain surgery.
