WSJ Today: 109th Congress "a bust"

[Bono]

Funny how the articles don't weigh as heavily on the Democrats in Congress as it does Republicans . . . because you can't have one without the other.

But that's the old addage:  If Pro = good, and Con = bad, what's the opposite of PROgress?

The Republicans control both houses of Congress now, so yes the article should focus on them more. The Dems usually aren't given the opportunity to have their proposed legislation discussed.

Yet they do not have the super majority it would take to make the Democrats less insignificant than they are currently as the minority, so yes, the Democrats to have to carry some of the burden.  While a few Democrats are willing to "work with" the Republicans, they have primarily taken the role of obstructionist.  While that is sometimes a good thing on bad legislation, it's a bad thing on most legislation.

The Republicans have gotten almost everything through that their party supports.

Examples?

Five tax cuts, that bankruptcy bill, and a partial-birth abortion ban. That's about it, but we'll probably get tax reform and a guest worker program through this Congress.

That's almost everything we want?
