They don’t have both houses of Congress. They can’t act as stop on the President , while he acts like its his own idea and gets all the credit. Thats because nothing like what theyre proposing will ever get to his desk.

Youre saying they lost the battle (Clinton reelected) but won the war (they got credit for a balanced budget that relied on increased tax revenues). Except this time they lose both. Too bad youre too obtuse to see that.

“They don’t have both houses of Congress. “

They don’t need both houses. Our founders designed a system where either the Senate, House, President or even the USSC can stop anything from becoming law. That’s a fundamental problem that you are having. It’s the foundation of our system of government that unless there is general agreement that a bill become law, there is no law and in the absence of law, we are free in this republic.

“They can’t act as stop on the President , while he acts like its his own idea and gets all the credit. Thats because nothing like what theyre proposing will ever get to his desk.”

Again, our government was not designed to act. It was designed to prevent.

“Youre saying they lost the battle (Clinton reelected) but won the war (they got credit for a balanced budget that relied on increased tax revenues). Except this time they lose both. Too bad youre too obtuse to see that.”

They did not get credit for balancing the budget, Clinton did and getting credit was not the measure of whether they won or lost. Only small, small people demand sole credit for good outcomes. They ensure nothing good ever comes from them.
