Am I the only person who does not realize the nature of American political decisions?
Amazing that Congress can't seem to get bipartisan agreement on anything...except shoving through secret deals that benefit monster corporations.
I wonder why that is?

Exactly, Why not a minimum wage increase or a doubling of science funding??? Something that will help America instead of trade America away.

Bugger. I was hoping Congressional dysfunction would stall that deal forever.
