The only downside is the majority congress is in the wrong hands to help the progress. They will obstruct as much as they are allowed.

KINDA LIKE HARRY REID SITTING ON 300 BILLS PASSED BY A BI-PARTISAN VOTE IN CONGRESS AND NOT ALLOWING THEM TO BE BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE TO BE VOTED ON, IS THAT THE OBSTRUCTION YOU ARE REFERRING TO?

Jenkins said that in the "do-nothing Senate," there are 352 House bills "sitting on Harry Reid’s desk awaiting action," including 55 introduced by Democrats. In some cases, committee chairs -- not Reid -- may be blocking or moving slowly on these bills. In other cases, senators are working on their own alternative bills on the same topic. Meanwhile, the claim oversells the degree of bipartisanship in the House; a majority of the Democratic-sponsored bills she cites are relatively minor pieces of legislation. Ultimately, Jenkins places all the blame on the Democrats and the Senate, but experts agree that it takes two to tango. Both parties and chambers have played a role in creating the current legislative dysfunction. On balance, we rate the claim Half True. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/aug/06/lynn-jenkins/rep-lynn-jenkins-blames-harry-reid-do-nothing-sena/ |
