Let all liberals cry.
When all the smoke, hype, and chest-thumping clears, the next two years will be revealed as a time of very little real action. Anyone who thinks you can start some sort of "revolution" in America without a super-majority in the Senate clearly doesn't remember the last two years.article wrote:From the perspective of actually getting anything done in the next two years, there was perhaps no worse outcome. Republicans don't fully control Congress, so they don't have enough power to be blamed for legislative outcomes. But Democrats don't control the House and they don't have a near-filibuster proof majority in the Senate, so they can't pass legislation. Republicans, in other words, are not left with the burden of governance, and Democrats are not left with the power to govern. Republicans don't have to be responsible, and Democrats can't do it for them.
uh... look again. All we're going to get is bureaucratic gridlock. Of course, if you're a classical economist, that's a good thing. And if it is, it's going to be funny watching both sides trying to take credit.Gooberman wrote:Here's hoping that for the first time in my life I will get to see what fiscal conservatism looks like.
Ta-daaa!! Give the man a cookie!Avder wrote:Democratic Senate and President + Republican house = Absolutely nothing is going to get done in the next two years, especially not any of the "roll backs" that republicans are promising.
The only things that are going to get done are the stuff both parties want, which in the end is more favors for the big businesses and rich jackasses who finance the endless campaigns.
I'll take mine as a classic chocolate chip cookie thank you, and I prefer it chewy rather than crunchy.d3jake wrote:Ta-daaa!!

Gridlock would be great if it was total gridlock.Spidey wrote:Government gridlock…sounds like a plan.
