[This is why nothing gets done while our debt rises and Social Security goes bankrupt.
Republicans control the House and the Senate and thus, get to control the agenda. Democrats don't even get to have their legislation be debated on the Senate floor. Senators like Boxer opposing the truly bad legislation and nominees is a good thing.
If stuff isn't getting done, it's the Republicans fault. Their social security privatization plan does nothing to fix the problem. Why should Democrats support it? The American public hates it and it's a bad idea.
As for the national debt, huge tax cuts and increased spending is agian the fault of Republicans.
