General Discussion

Where is YOUR outline of bold new legislation to create jobs through a major program to fix highways, shore up bridges, overhaul airports and seaports and rebuild railways? As a Senator, that is YOUR job.

Senator Sanders, why haven’t YOU gotten tough with republicans by drafting bold new legislation to create jobs through a major program to fix highways, shore up bridges, overhaul airports and seaports and rebuild railways? And then, after doing so get tough on republicans, telling them “if they are not prepared to go forward they are going to pay a political price.”

Are we to conclude that you are not a fighter … or that your only fight is with a President that does not do YOUR job the way YOU would do it, if you were to do it.

Honestly, I like a lot of what Sanders does and stands for; specifically, I support his doing this:
“The Fed: Sen. Sanders urged the president to nominate a new Fed chairman who would be an advocate for the middle class, AP reported. Sanders suggested Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz or former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Sanders said the Fed needs to address unemployment with the same urgency it showed after the financial crisis in 2008.”

That is his Constitutional role … but, I am passed tired of legislators that abdicate their constitutional role by failing to push and push and push (read: draft and introduce, over and over again) the legislation that they criticize this President for not proposing.

I swear … too many in Congress seem as Wide Receivers complaining that the Quarterback is not completing passes, while they refuse to run any patterns.
