Ah hell, the VA, Soc Sec, Med Care, and infrastructure were all toast along time before the GOP gained control of the House and Senate. The problem with rdean is he is too young to remember when both houses of congress ruled the nation. Its easier to **** things up for 40+ years, piss off the tax payers , get voted out, and leave the mess for others, then blame them for the mess.
Take Soc Sec for example, who legislated and put a cap on the maximum earned income subject to Soc Sec tax, hint you need to go back to the origin of Soc Sec to get the picture. Honesty, morality, and justice in government is incongruous to the very nature of the new and improved version of a government bestowing rights and benefits, at a cost, to the people versus a government of the people based on the primary premise of freedom and justice for all.
