Business groups are exasperated that Congress has made little progress on issues they see as vital in helping the ailing economy.

Industry leaders are lashing out at both parties for shifting into campaign mode with more than 200 days to go before the November election.

While corporate officials acknowledge that Congress was never likely to undertake the complex task of reforming the tax code or the politically dangerous assignment of immigration reform during an election year, they thought there would be more progress in other areas.

For example, they are perplexed that Congress has no immediate plans to extend 60 tax provisions that expired at the end of last year. The transportation authorization bill, traditionally one of the easiest bills to pass in Congress, has become stalled by an internecine fight in the House, and energy legislation, another priority, is not likely to come up in the Senate because Democratic leaders want to shield vulnerable colleagues from casting difficult votes on Environmental Protection Agency regulations and oil-and-gas drilling.

2. It's pretty clear who's used to giving the orders.

They're upset because Congress hasn't completed their "assignments". I believe government should keep business on a tight leash but it looks like it works the other way around.
