Are the REPUBLICANS totally to be blamed (like Jim Jordan) for nothing getting done because they refuse to work with the Liberals?

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan says it's 'wrong' for Senate Republicans to work with Democrats on bills endorsed by Biden

When President Joe Biden entered the Oval Office last year, he expressed a commitment to working across the aisle with Republicans to craft legislation — something he practiced in his 36-year career in the Senate.

From last year's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package to a recent $52 billion chips-funding bill, the administration has notched some major successes in attracting support from Democrats and Republicans and breaking part of the filibuster logjam that has become an all-too-common form of blocking legislation in recent years.

However, the wave of consensus doesn't sit too well with Rep. Jim Jordan, the conservative Ohio Republican and longtime ally of former President Donald Trump who could play a major role in Congress next year if Republicans win back control of the House.

Jordan recently told Politico that Senate Republicans who join their Democratic counterparts in supporting legislation backed by Biden are "wrong."

"I wish they wouldn't," the lawmaker said of his GOP counterparts in the upper chamber.

While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — known for employing sharply partisan maneuvering from Supreme Court nominations to GOP-led tax plans — has been a surprising supporter of some of the Biden-endorsed legislation, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California has led his caucus against most of the administration's agenda items.

It's just our political system, man. Hardly any other voters want politicians to work with the other party, because the other party is the enemy. So they hire ones who won't. And then nothing ever gets done.

I can't even remember the last thing of significance and consequence that the government did. Maybe No Child Left Behind? And all that did was make our schools even more broken.

As an Ohioan, and a staunch OSU fan, I can't stand Jim Jordan and his imbecilic ways

Republican tactic in fighting against popular bills is to punish average Americans, instead of creating popular policies of their own.

Watching the US from the outside, and as someone who has worked there it always comes across as six of one - Half a dozen of the other, they always disagree with each other no matter which party is in power, and they always block each others policies. But I would not be at all surprised if the upcoming midterms seriously shakes up both parties.

We all know the Far-Right Radical doesn't want to work with the Democrats this has always been an issue.

I don't even know who that is, but I don't blame him. Compromise should work both ways. Why waste your time trying to work with people who don't want to listen to what you have to say?

American government is paralyzed by rabid Republicans (dumptards) who cannot get past their opposition to make the government work for the people.
