<Nobody's more divisive than a republican in congress dealing with a democratic President.> *************** Well that's an easy one; a Democratic in Congress dealing with a Republican President. But that won't get us anywhere will it. Then again I was talking about the effect the bills passed had on the American people. You must admit that for more than thirty years Democrats controlled both houses, be it a GOP or Dem. president in the White house. In virtually every case the only way a Republican president could get any bill the trough was to bribe various members of Congress with pet spending projects. A prime example was when President Bush had to go back on his word of No New Taxes when he found the only way he could get anything passed was to grant the Democrats additional taxes and spending. It was a trap which till the day he dies he will be chided for and regret. As you must know if you studied government, the only way a bill gets originated is to be spawned from a committee or originated by a member of Congress. In both cases it must be debated and passed by both houses before it will presented to the President for signature. As I said earlier The Democrats enjoyed almost overwhelming majority for three decades and there was little the Republicans could do to advance their agenda or stymie the opposition. Everyone here can argue all they want but almost all the deficit spending has been controlled the Democrats. JFH
