And even in those 2 years with house/senate control, dems didn't have a filibuster proof majority and the repubs were being intransigent. So the dems majority was crippled by a repub side that was unwilling to compromise the majority of time. Blaming things on the republicans in congress is not a garbage argument at all...it's the truth. It's a testament how the filibuster is not fit for today's governing, and how the system of legislating needs to me updated to account for this polarized congress.
The Daily Show did a story the other night about a jobs bill for returning veterans that got 58 yeas and 40 nays and therefore was defeated because it didn't reach the magic 60. The argument against it was that the Repubs didn't like how the bill paid for itself. The lols came when the Daily Show pointed out that congress approved the wars that made these men veterans without paying for the wars.
