GOP-led Senate passing bills at rate not seen in decades

[hadit]

As usual the truth is the opposite of what the left wing states. The left wing says that this is a do nothing Congress, when in reality it was and always will be the Congress when run by democrats.

GOP-led Senate passing bills at rate not seen in decades

The Senate is off to its best year since 1990 by at least one measure, with more than 30 of its bills having been signed into law by President Obama.

Eighteen months into Republican control of the Senate, the upper chamber has settled into a new normal. The partisan fights remain, and senators aren’t spending much time on the floor debating bills — but they are passing them, and at a surprising clip.

The problem for liberals is that Congress isn't passing the bills they like.

Name the bill they passed that you like

Why? The complaint is that they have been doing nothing and are only obstructing, now they're active. Is that not a good thing?

Hilarious! NaziCon bills to nowhere. Reminds me of Sarah Palin's famous bridge to nowhere.

Wow, I'm glad there are none of those around here. They sound scary.

Hey Freewill, do you know who this is?

I'm just questioning how "active" they are

You can't even name a single bill a conservative would be proud of

There are very few bills conservatives can be proud of, because conservatives want LESS government action, not more. I was simply pointing out that the whole liberal complaint is a crock.

That is not what they ran on

They ran on killing Obamacare, stopping same sex marriage, jobs, Keystone, a balanced budget, tax cuts

They only will control Congress for two years and they blew their chance...they achieved nothing
In 2017, Dems will take control again and start passing meaningful legislation

The current Republican establishment is one of the least effective party mechanisms in history. They had a huge mandate to stop the worst of Obama, but refused to stand for anything and gave away the store. They talked big, then every time Obama put on his frowny face and shook his finger they got scared and gave him what he wanted. That is precisely why Trump is being successful and scaring the crap out of them. Trump would be nowhere if they had acted like an opposition party instead of lap dogs.

The best of all worlds is for truly opposing forces to own opposing branches of government. That way, little gets done and we actually have a stable environment to live in.

They gave away nothing....Obama just took it

Republican reluctance to even meet with the President meant they got NOTHING in their agenda.......nothing in healthcare, no tax cuts, lost same sex marriage, no Keystone,

Nah, that was Obama's arrogance from the beginning when he told them to sit in the back of the bus and that he wanted his people to bring a gun to a knife fight. Naturally, Obama couldn't imagine that in 2 years time his party would be reduced to long-term minority status in congress.

Obama was President
Means that if Republicans wanted any of their agenda they would have to work with him. They refused and got NOTHING

Obama got Obamacare, clean energy, ended Bush tax cuts, Iran nuclear deal, recognition of Cuba, same sex marriage

Republicans wanted to kill Obamacare, more tax cuts, more oil drilling, Keystone, kill Planned Parenthood....they got NOTHING to show for eight years

Obama won on every major issue

...as opposed to the Reid-led Senate where he had a hundred bill sitting on his desk he refused to allow to come up for discussion let alone a vote.

Reid passed Obamacare, START, Stimulus, Gays in the military, Financial Reform

What has the do nothing Republican Congress passed?
Naming Post Offices?

 

[longknife]

I see the Washington Times does not mention a single significant bill

At least any bills more important than filling a Supreme Court vacancy or preventing those on the no fly list from buying guns

Check ou Search GovTrack.us

Just as rightwinger suspected. Not a single significant bill.

S. 3114: A bill to express the sense of the Senate regarding the safe and expeditious resettlement to Albania of all residents of Camp Liberty.

WOW! I'm impressed!

Did either of you even bother to check out the linK?

Of course not!

Senate Democrats Block Funding for U.S. Troops, Veterans

Dingy Harry still at it. Blocks funding for troops and the Dept of Veteran Affairs. In addition, he had his fellow Dimbocrats block funding against the Zika virus. Because of him, it's possible there will come a time when our troops just won't get paid.

We've got to get rid of him and his ilk – as well as keeping Killary from the Oval Office. This means the very future of this country.

Right, because they were scared to oppose him, even though given the mandate to do so.

Actually, the opposite was true

Rightwing media made it impossible for republicans to negotiate with Obama. It even reached the point where they were afraid to even have their picture taken with him
