I don't think anyone cares what the Senate has done. In January we will see what it can do.
You lost Shill.
I have yet to hear anyone dig down into the story of how the D's miscalculated so badly. It looks to me that in spite of all the talking the R's do about freeing the people from the government the D's took it as an article of faith that the people want Washington to make new law and to start new programs. but maybe a lot of us dont, maybe the R's dont get penalized for gumming up Washington and saying no to most everything The Professor wanted to do because we dont trust Washington in general and The Professor in particular to move the ball in the right direction if they were to get the ball. Maybe we took R obstruction as a public service. Maybe Washington working on ObamaCare when we wanted them to work on the economy and jobs was the second of a one/two punch, the first one being that we realized that Washington incompetence at financial regulation was the root cause of the economic melt-down, one that we are far from recovered from even now. Banker welfare, a stimulus program that turned out to be mostly spent on crap, and no bankers going to jail all adds to our sense that Washington cant move the ball in the right direction. The Obamacare mucked up implementation , the neglect and lies out of the VA, a space shuttle that was such a death trap that it had to be retired leaving us no way to get humans into space, adds to the sense that these boys and girls cant do their jobs. All of the clean living laws and PSA's coming out of Washington just adds insult to injury, they who cant conduct themselves properly spend way too much time telling us how to conduct ourselves, and the D's are the worse offenders on this.
The D's seem still to be oblivious to all of this, they go on as if they are our champions that we are looking up to to lead us to the promise land, that we want to tap into their intellect because we are too stupid to figure things out for ourselves. In short is seems like the D's have spent way way too much time in their offices writing press releases for the "journalists" to follow and talking in front of cameras and not enough time listening to the people. Hell, that is probably how we ended up with ObamaCare rather than jobs.
