Blaming the June job numbers on the debt ceiling issue is largely bogus, since practically no one thought in June that the debt ceiling wouldn't be raised. It might have a noticeable effect on the July numbers depending on how close to the deadline they get. The increase in energy prices and shrinking government payrolls are the major factors for June.
I think the general economic mess regarding the deficit is a big issue actually.
at 11% of GDP they have to do someting fairly soon.... it's not knowing what the "something" is that is causing a lot of uncertainty.
July it just got worse as the debt limit issue came up hard in people's faces, but the debt ceiling is just the current crisis associated with long term structural deficit.
