The Dems made a bill that didn't pass the house. what have the Repub's done to fix the problem?

Question

or are they happy the way things are.

Answer 1

If the Dems can't craft a bill to pass a Dem majority Congress, it must really be a piece of c**p!

Answer 2

Stuff like that happens all the time. Unless you're more specific, we have no idea.

Answer 3

If you mean the windfall profits tax bill, that won't fix the problem only exasperate it.  If you tax the business, they are passing that cost onto you at the pump.  The Republicans blocked it by filibuster  because we tried it under Carter - and it was a disaster!

If you mean the bill to expand domestic drilling, the Dems blocked that.  It was a Republican bill that the Dems blocked, not the other way around.

Answer 4

They blocked that piece of c**p bill.  No they are not happy with the way things are, but you have to be able to get your bills to the floor.  something that gets blocked more often than not.

Answer 5

Whar bill are you talking about ?

Answer 6

Maybe it's a good thing the bill didn't pass the house.  Maybe that bill was completely ridiculous.  A good government has to be able to recognize that some laws aren't the right answer.  If the bill gets rejected, it means they didn't agree that it was the right answer.

Secondly, the Democrats currently have control of both the house and senate.  So most likely some democrats voted against it.
