One would think that if all involved wanted to get something done, it would be a done deal..
Not so in this day and age.
Even controlling the senate and sitting in the oval office can not get the done deal done..
It was not a joke that republicans can not govern, even when holding all the cards..
From the Fiscal Times....
Quote of the Day: Going Nowhere Fast
“I’ve said to people here, if you’ve been here four years or less you’ve never seen the Senate. And you would have loved it. It was an interesting place. We had bills, and amendments ... we did big things.”
– Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), reflecting on the inability of his fellow lawmakers to pass important legislation, including new laws focused on surprise hospital bills and drug prices. Here’s how Politico’s Marianne Levine and Sarah Karlin-Smith summed up the current status of the drug bill, in the article featuring Durbin’s quote: “President Donald Trump has vowed to lower the cost of prescription drugs. A Senate committee has approved a bipartisan bill to do just that. And the plan is going nowhere fast.”
