It is utterly infuriating that a party which controls three of the federal branches and has only the press to contend with, cannot put one foot in front of the other.
Good plan.. its unreal we can't even bulid nuke plants for example when the republicans control all branches.
I'm beginning to think that the republican party was in opposition for so long that they can't really govern - besides on military issues. They got some tax cuts through, but then borrowed money to make up the gap in funding.
When I hear them speak they sound like an opposition party trying to slow down the Democrat agenda. Like Dennis Hastert's editorial on why the tax system is over-complicated and his ideas for a simple system. This same guy was the house majority leader and couldn't even stop the rising complexity of the tax code. It seems he is more natural as an opposition leader criticizing the ruling party's mistakes.

If I remember correctly, those tax cuts actually led to greater revenues coming in to the government.
The reason for the borrowing is that the party of "fiscal conservativism" has been acting like a drunken 18 year old with his daddy's platinum card at the moonlight bunny ranch!
