And I wonder why that the then Republicans did not take the opportunity to really Make America Great Again in their vision they have always had(at least in modern times). They had a majority of both houses and a compliant President. They could have changed everything. Eliminate all the horrible social programs that have held Americans back since 1936. Social Security, Medicare, Sections 8 housing , Snap, Aid to Families with ********. Obamacare, Federal support for the unemployed, the list goes on and on. If states want to waste their tax money on their citizens that is their choice. Unnecessary Cabinet positions like Housing and Urban Development(a state and local issue if there ever was one), Department of Education( Again a local or statewide issue, who cares if Tennessee wants to teach Creationism and the world is flat and California wants to teach atheism and Science. The **** that learn best will do best just as America promised. EPA is another one that just holds back Business success. Snail Darter indeed. What company in this day and age will knowingly destroy the environment just to make money? And the folks who don't think Science is truth will be thrilled. They could have returned to those thrilling days of yesteryear where if you don't work, you don't eat was the law of the land. If they had acted quickly they would have had two years to get everyone so busy staying alive that they would never had had time or inclination to worry about who is in charge. But no, they did not and now they are up that now famous creek with out paddle, canoe, or even a life jacket.
