Well at times the Republicans were obstructionist. I remember a bill Obama proposed about 3 - 4 years ago that was a combined veterans employment/training and public works bill in which returning vets were to be trained and employed to work with local governments rebuilding infrastructure and other community needs. It was to cost about a billion dollars. A win - win in my mind. Help returning vets and rebuild infrastructure. How can anyone be against that? McConnell and the Senate said the country couldn't afford it and stopped it dead in its tracks. We could afford to put our troops in harms way on foreign lands but not find the money to help them when they came home. Strictly a political power play at the expense of our veterans. Shameful! But two wrongs don't make a right. So if the Dems pull the same BS at the expense of what is good for the country, just because the proposal comes from Trump, then a plague on both their houses.
