The Senate is facing pressure from within and without. Congress has failed to pass many important bills. House Republicans have accused their Senate colleagues of failing America.
America could find itself in a bind politically. Democrats have been criticized for disunity and lack of leadership. It doesn’t look as though Republicans are far behind.
This could be unsettling for the Country. With both Parties having similar troubles, someone has to come up with a solution.
Some believe that Mitch McConnell has it harder than the President. That suggestion could very well be true.
House
Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama gave his input into the ongoing issue. He said “the United States Senate is dysfunctional. It’s not doing its job and a lot of them need to retire or be beat.”
He continued “the House works hard and passes solutions. The President proposes solutions. They go to the Senate and the Senate puts a silly 1800s rule over the importance of America and our future. That ought to get a lot of people mad. … Everyone who is running for the United States Senate should use that as their strategy.”
One could clearly see from such comments all isn’t well in Congress.
Rep. Tom MacArthur of New Jersey also gave his worth on the issue.
He said “look, I think it’s important for the House to have an honest appraisal. We barely passed health care out of the House. It’s not like it was an overwhelming success and the Senate barely didn’t pass it. They just don’t have enough of a margin to do it.”
