Wow you're such a myopic partisan hack. No, the ineptitude of Congress spans generations and all parties.
You know what, guy, I remember when Congress actually realized elections were over and they had to get some work done. That stopped after 2010 or so.
The thing is, THIS Congress has no idea how to govern... And they have a child at the other end of the street who has no idea how to lead.
Your hate for Trump may be what's blinding you to reality.
Here's a Newsflash for you: The president is not who is tasked with making laws. All he has the power to do is say yes or no.
Funny, all the guys who proceeded him usually had plans and ideas and worked the room to get the laws they wanted.
Shit, as much as i hate using him as a good example, George W. Bush, when he got in, had an agenda of things he wanted to pass and worked with Democrats and Republicans alike to get them done.
This guy can't get stuff done with his own guys in charge..
Regardless of party, Congress is having a party on our dime and not giving us a damn thing to show for it. They don't have to worry about what the common people's health insurance is, they have awesome government health insurance for life. If the Democrats see that Obamacare is going to hurt their constituents, they should get in on coming up with something better than Ryancare. Or will they do like the Republicans did last term and just be stalwarts. I bet they do the latter, even if a fantastically good healthcare bill gets drafted.
We already have a good healthcare bill, if we let it work the way it was designed and people stopped trying to frustrate it at the state level.
A single payer system would be better, to be sure, but this is the best system we have wiht the power that special interests have and with public indifference towards the status quo.
