A "do-nothing" Congress - Dem controlled vs Repuke controlled - historical perspective ...
It occurred to me ...

In the late 90s, the Repukes effectively shut down the work of the people ... Congress came to a dead stop to impeach the last Dem president.

Rush Limbaugh giddily took the air and said that the economy was going great ... BECAUSE THE CONGRESS WASN'T DOING ANYTHING. Mind you, if someone even exercised one brain cell, he or she would see the fallacy of his glee ... that the fact that Repukes weren't doing anything was BENEFICIAL to the economy.

Now, you have a Dem-led Congress, stalled due to the filibusters of the Republicans and the vetoes of the President ...

and the economy is faltering ...

The conclusion I come from this, if you can "intellectually follow" me, is that a working Dem Congress is a good thing, while a working Repuke Congress is horrendous and devastating to the nation.

1. You are very correct my Friend
And in the 90's limbaugh was telling the lemmings, in the midst of peace and prosperity, that the President of the United States has nothing to do with our economy.

You are really pretty vicious though ZB because if a lurker reads your last paragraph they are gonna really hurt themselves.

2. Not to mention that the Repukes were the ones screaming about how
no one, not even the President, was above the law, and that we were in a Constitutional crisis ...
