Trump and Republicans found billions for Argentina and millions more for a tacky ballroom.
But they can’t find any to lower Americans’ costs or protect their health care?
Their priorities are clear and the American people aren’t on the list.

This is most of the reason but remember it next time they tell you how important the senate is for allowing slow and careful deliberation and debate
The least sinister (but probably just as enraging) explanation has always been "they just wanna get out of the Senate chambers and off the clock." Why make the process take longer when they could fail quickly and go home?
