“Anyone else find the descriptor “single-handedly” consummately depressing?”
Yep. If the rest of Senate Republicans were willing to follow Bunning’s lead, they could shut down the Senate for 40 consecutive weeks. Even if they merely delayed all the legislative damage that might otherwise be done during that period, the benefits of even this temporary respite from big government likely would measured in hundreds of billions of additional GDP.
Good point. I don’t think people realize the sheer magnitude of the debt our nation is saddled with, and its ongoing danger.
Remind me again why we should be excited about a potential “Republican” takeover of Congress this year.
