Answer this question please.
When was the last time that the Democrats held both a majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate?

Rather than focusing on name calling and always blaming the republicans (for their tax cuts) the Democrats have to take some of the stink for the current fiscal situation. If they were genuinely concerned, they would have controlled spending the last 4 years and pushed for the tax cuts to expire early.

Each side just complains about the other

Republicans - spending is out of control (at least they are doing something about this)
Democrats - taxes are too low (never do anything about this)

As much as I hate the tariffs as a policy, it has the potential to generate some additional revenue...
