White Sandy
Beaches Here We Come – Keep the Mai Tai’s Coming
WASHINGTON (NBC News piece) — Congress is ready for a
break.
For
Republicans flush with election victory, 2017 was supposed to be a year of
winning, as then-candidate Donald Trump often said, for an ambitious
legislative agenda on Capitol Hill.
Seven months
in, it hasn't worked out the way they envisioned.
Republican
leaders have failed to repeal and replace Obama-care, they are behind schedule
on reforming the nation’s tax system, and they haven't even broached plans to
boost the nation's infrastructure — three of their top legislative priorities.
Now they are
leaving town for their annual August recess, feeling frustrated, exhausted, and
disappointed that a rare opportunity to pass their agenda is being squandered.
They have
control of Congress and the White House but little to show for it so far.
On top of
their own inability to make progress, there's a hefty dose of Trump fatigue as
Republican leaders have had to maneuver alongside a drama-filled White House
led by a president who has shown little interest in the details of policy or
loyalty to them or the party.
Story continues here (NBC
News).
My View: So, Congress needs a break because they
are: tired, worn out, frustrated, disappointed, and worried about their
effective and sadly, their failures ... hell, now they know the general
public feels.
Pathetic bunch – preaches responsibility and
accountability and can’t even define the words.
Thanks for stopping by.
