Re: “Here’s what the new Congress should do,” Nov. 23 guest commentary.
Was this commentary supposed to reflect the Republican agenda for the next two years? If so, why should the American people expect anything different to happen in Washington?
The authors claim that Republicans are going to restore trust in our government and return to regular order. What a joke! The GOP has done nothing to instill trust, or to suggest they have the desire or the wherewithal to address the major issues that face this country.
The list of issues in the essay look like a dusted-off version of a political platform from the 1980s, except for Obamacare and the Keystone Pipeline. There are no practical or creative solutions in any of these summaries. But why should we expect anything else?
Over the last six years, the Republican Party has obsessed with blocking appointments and railing against Obamacare, rather than passing legislation that would improve the lives of most Americans. Itap clear that the issue of immigration, important to many Americans, won’t even get serious consideration.
