So the Republicans didn't accomplish anything while Clinton was Pres? And Reagan didn't get anything accomplished since he had Democrats controlling Congress? Not as much as they could have. Some say it's a good thing... I've said it before myself. But I think right now we have so many and such severe structural problems that we need a lot of action. Also the political divide, IMHO, has become much more toxic, primarily due to the rise of the Neos. Old style Republicans you could work with, they were in favor of good governance. The Neos hate government so much they want to see it fail. In this environment the only stuff that passes into law are things that the legislators can't vote against... like the "new GI bill". That passed with a veto proof majority. Nobody wants their opposition to say "Congressman Blowhard votes against our soldiers".
