If Republicans Win the House and Senate in 2022.
What would change?
As always, Washington is in a state of gridlock. Of course, that’s even more frustrating now considering the fact that Democrats have unilateral control of the government, with the majority in the House and Senate and the Presidency as well. Defenders of the Democratic Party — who were insisting leading up to the election that all we needed was unilateral control — are now saying that it shouldn’t even be treated as though Democrats have the power because the majority in the Senate is so slim.
That might be true, but liberals tend to conveniently leave out the fact that Democrats could nuke the filibuster so that bills could pass with a simple majority.
Instead, they have chosen not to, and Joe Manchin has happily made himself the face of the opposition to getting anything done. His excuses as of late have become so flimsy, he’s been reduced to arguing that the American people should trust him that there are ten good Republicans in the Senate. Interesting, since none of them voted for Biden’s Covid relief bill.
Considering that Biden has already slashed his infrastructure bill proposal and even taken prescription drug reform off of the table, one can’t help wondering — since it’s a likely possibility — what it would mean if Republicans took back the House…
