Businesses are most concerned with the undertainty involved in debt ceiling machinations. They are somewhat concerned that Republicans may blow up the economy if they aren't allowed to stay up half an hour later to watch more TV. Now, if uncertainty is such a problem, btw, why didn't Bush make his tax cuts permanent? Why did he devise them so they would periodically expire? Want to know the answer? He did it that way because otherwise, the long term projections showed that they would lead to massive deficit spending.
businesses care about their shareholders and the opportunity for growth. Still waiting for you to explain how Obama inherited the 2011 numbers. When Bush got the tax cuts passed the Senate was controlled by the Democrats and in order to get those cuts approved had a sunset because that is what was required by Democrats. "Your" President extended them during the lame duck session of Congress that Democrats controlled. Keep trying to rewrite history
