No, you’re dead wrong. They talk about until the cows come home. They just never seem to be able do dick about it. It’s always the Republicans’ fault, even when the Ds control both houses and the Presidency!
Obama got a lot done before Republicans took over. Yes not as far a I and folks like Krugman wanted and were pushing him to, but in spite of there being a democratic majority in congress there were a lot of conservative democrats that probably would have balked at anything too extreme in their minds. I’m hoping for Hillary and a slightly more democratic congress will show folks that moving to the left a bit will do some good and then the midterms will see folks giving her a more left congress to push things even further. The more I see of Bernie the more he seems like he’s all or none and he’d get in there and push so far to the left that we’d get even less done than Obama has these last few years.
