    and focus on what they’re doing today?

    You mean like the recovery of the country from COVID with the American Rescue Plan Act, or Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPs act, Student loan forgiveness? How about repeal of the homophobic “Defense of Marriage Act”? Maybe the Honoring our PACT Act which finally recognized the conditions we put our troops in and covering their health needs resulting from that exposure? Those kind of things?

        I’m not opposed to many of these bills but NONE of them improve the general well being of the american worker or their families.

        You have a very specific definition of any legislative success. You have a very defined view (regardless if I agree with it or not).

        Can you tell me when the last time any level of legislation was passed by any party that would meet your version of success? The only thing I can think of that would meet your very high bar is FDR with the New Deal and other efforts FDR did with the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). Do you have something more recent that 1939?

            smile do you? do you see the problem with the fact you need to go back that far to find anything that helps American’s that you think I’ll accept.

            I don’t need to. I see lots of things, including the ACA, that helped working Americans. However, you say that doesn’t by your measure. So I’m asking you to give an example of your measure to better understand your point of view. Thats how we learn about each other’s views when they aren’t apparent.

            The list I mentioned above isn’t some unattainable goal.

            So it sounds like you’re saying nothing has been passed in the USA in the last 85 years since FDR’s New Deal that qualifies for your measure of “helping working Americans”.

            many countries already have accomplished these things for their people.

            Okay, thank you. That informs me of your position. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your views.

                I don’t need to.

                I didnt say you needed to. I was asking if you could think of any. that was the point.

                You’re asking me about what passed legislation I believe meets your vague generalizations of approval? What kind of game is that? You still haven’t answered the question and we’re on the third time I would be asking it with me still only guessing the New Deal meets your measure.

                I don’t actually care about trying to tease your answer out of you anymore. The best I can tell is that you haven’t liked anything in the last 85 years. Its too much effort to try to figure out more from you on that. Its enough to tell me everything I needed to know about your position. You’re welcome to your opinion and position. I’m not interested in learning any more about about it though. You’re welcome to continue to reply to this, but I’m I won’t be engaging anymore. Have a great day!
