Yeah, there's a couple of things accomplished, but Republicans should have been able to walk a majority of conservative ideas through easily; but, they have been beat up by a minority party!You need 60 votes to stop debate in the Senate. So without 60 conservative votes in the Senate nothing gets done except mandatory budget bills.

But, with a majority of government comes a majority voice in order to put liberals on the spot which makes them lose every time. Republicans were handed unprecedented control of government and have so far proven to be extremely ineffective.
