Hey, a Democrat, Harry Reid changed the rules. Now Dems have to live with them. But still NEITHER PARTY got it done.Mainly due to Republican reconciliation and filibuster rules. So they can pass tax cuts with 51 votes ditto Cuts in services for the rest. And Democrats need 60 for raising taxes on the bloated rich and reform.Hey, no excuses from either party. Neither got it done.While you have been on the GOP propaganda machine, Democrats have been complaining forever about tax cuts on the rich to the point where we now have a flat tax system and the effect it has inequality and upward Mobility, now the worst in our history and in the modern world by far.So President Trump starts it by getting people to realize how fucked up Baltimore is, and Cummings who has been in Baltimore forever is just now waking up?Independent here-both parties are lay and corrupt.No matter how badly republicans fuck up, they cannot take responsibility.. The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule, but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years, but it's not republican federal policy or state controlled by republicans trying to create 37state trickle down economic zones. No, It's the "liberal democratic urban mayors."
Gov. Hogan’s decisions cause rift with Baltimore leaders

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s decisions to kill an expensive light-rail project in Baltimore and reduce funding for schools have stirred tension with the city’s political leaders, who are questioning his commitment to addressing the struggling residents’ needs.
Hogan, a white, Republican businessman and first-time officeholder, campaigned last year in Baltimore as a common-man candidate who could deliver economic growth and job opportunities better than his rival, then-lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown (D), who is black.
He won about 22 percent of the vote in the predominantly African American, strongly Democratic city, compared with 16 percent captured by former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) in 2010, when he ran against incumbent Martin O’Malley (D).
Hogan was a visible presence in Baltimore after riots erupted there in late April following the death of Freddie Gray, who was seriously injured while in police custody. The governor spent more than 15 hours a day in the city at times, meeting with residents and community leaders during a state of emergency, and even shooting hoops with locals.
But Hogan risks losing ground in Baltimore because of two actions that he says reflect his focus on fiscal restraint: his rejection last month of the Red Line light-rail project — even as he approved a similarly expensive project in the Washington suburbs — and his decision in May to withhold $68 million in aid for high-cost school districts, including $11 million for Baltimore.
“Although the governor has promised to support economic growth in Baltimore, he cancelled a project that would have expanded economic development, created thousands of jobs, increased access to thousands more, and offered residents better health care, child care, and educational opportunities,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) said in a statement after the Red Line announcement.

Independent here-both parties are corrupt and lazy. Don't blame just Republicans-both Trump and Cummings can accept blame for these conditions on their watch.No matter how badly republicans fuck up, they cannot take responsibility.. The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule, but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years, but it's not republican federal policy or state controlled by republicans trying to create 37state trickle down economic zones.
