So What Now?

It seems as if there is nothing happening in Washington other than the impeachment nonsense and the politics surrounding that.

Think about it.  Haven't we heard that there are negotiations to finalize some sort of gun control legislation in Congress.  That seems to have died.  By pushing the impeachment investigation, the Dems have really made certain that there will be no further conversations with the President on this topic.

And how about the USMCA?  This is the trade agreement between the USA, Canada and Mexico that is to replace NAFTA.  It will provide major benefits for American businesses and consumers as well as creating around a half a million new jobs.  Nancy Pelosi, however, won't let the House vote on the deal.  They're all too preoccupied with impeachment now, and they don't want President Trump to have a "win" with the treaty.  It's sad.  It seems like they don't care about what benefits the American people, only about what benefits their party.

There also seems to be no progress being made on improving infrastructure, lowering drug prices and a host of other items that could be the subject of agreement if the Dems would just actually discuss ways to fix problems instead of trying to hang the problems on Trump and the Republicans.

What's going to happen now?  Is there any chance things will change before 2021?  It would be good for America for the Dems to start acting like legislators.  I surely doubt it will happen though.
