(94,201 posts)I like the President's economic proposals more than I like what Congress ultimately does with them. It has taken a mass protest to get these legislators attention. I don't believe the main problem has ever been the President and his initiatives. Congress has the responsibility for allocating our money and debating his proposals. They've acted like they could just stall until this election. I think they're going to feel a backlash for that.
I do think pressure behind this election is going to bend the legislature toward our Democratic initiatives and toward the President's as well. It's still going to be a challenge to get them working together. If we achieve that, we will move toward fixing much of what's been broken and given away to those who don't need or deserve it.
