Got to love how the Repubs refuse to accept any responsibility at all even when they have majorities in both houses of congress and they control the White House...and yet still it is all the Dems fault. 1st grade mentality.
The first-grade mentality is yours. Do you know what a filibuster is? Do you understand that if your party does not have 60 votes in the Senate, the minority party can block anything? Did you take basic civics in high school?
I'll tell you what: You guys vote for Republican candidates for Senate and give us a filibuster-proof majority, and you just watch us get the budget under control and start paying down the debt. You surely know that Schumer and Pelosi have no intention of halting deficit spending or trying to balance the budget.
This argument that "gosh, you guys 'control' Congress and the White House" is juvenile nonsense. You don't "control" the Senate unless you have 60 votes when the minority party is willing to filibuster anything they don't like. No bill gets out of Congress and on the President's desk unless it passes the Senate. Facts are stubborn things.
It is simply amazing how gullible some people are. It is as if you honestly believe the Repubs when they tell you if they just had a few more senators they would spend less. Did you send the guy from Nigeria your bank account information also so that he could send you the money for safekeeping?
What we need to do is put the GOP back in the minority in the Senate, because according to you when they were the minority they managed to control spending.
