Why don't Dems ever do any last minute sneak-ins of good stuff? Like raising the minimum wage? Or restoration of welfare money. Or increases for social security. Or scholarships for public university students. Or housing for homeless people. Or actual direct-hire jobs instead of unpaid "employment programs".

I have always wondered the same thing. Republicons get whatever they want, and Democrats get little tiny temporary bits.

And when is a single Democratic Senator going to put a stop to something disastrous the way single republicons have stopped so damn many things????

Every time the Democrats get back into power, I think: "Okay, now we're going to get back all those things Republicans just took away."

But no. Democrats just play rearguard action the whole time, until Republicans are back in power. They never take the initiative and put social and public infrastructure back in the forefront. They make it pointless to elect them!
