They Went Home

Politico has a headline vis-a-vis the attempt by verrrrry slender Democrat majorities to pass two gigantic spending bills, one focused on actual infrastructure, the other on boondoggle giveaway programs. The headline and the subhead pretty much tell the story on a Friday night.

'It’s not a success': Dems head home after infrastructure stalemate 
Frustrated lawmakers worry their failure to deliver either a deal on a social spending bill or an infrastructure vote could have lasting consequences.

There is at least a chance they will never get their act together. It reminds me of a famous Will Rogers quote.

I'm not a member of any organized political party…. I'm a Democrat.
