    Politics is the art of the possible. It is impossible for legislation to solve every problem. The ACA and Dodd-Frank didn’t solve every problem, but they did solve some. We are better off with them than without them. Even if they don’t stop the next catastrophe.

    Democrats do compromise more than Republicans, which is exactly why they get more legislation passed than Republicans.

      Getting more legislation passed doesn’t matter when that legislation does far less than the fewer pieces of legislation that the republicans can pass. Just look at the state of the country and tell me which party is winning.

        Name two pieces of GOP legislation passed by Congress in the past 20 years that did more than the ACA and the IRA.
