Every Friday I take questions from the “So What” community. (Last week’s chat is here.)
This only works because of you and your great questions! So, got something you want answered about, well, anything? Now is your time!
Ask away in the comments section!
Sports Question!! Since you're a fellow soccer nerd, do you see a way for promotion and relegation to be part of any pro sport in the US? I know, it's all about the owners and their money. But last weekend's "Richest Game in Sports" is such a great spectacle. And everything gets so much more interesting knowing that your small-town team could rise to the top level if they win, and even the big guys could get demoted if they are terrible. Sorry Oakland, off to Triple-A for you....
Cristo,
The House will need "moderate" Democratic Party votes to get the Debt Crisis bill passed, which will be a "win" for both parties.
(Actually a bi-partisan bill passed is a win for the American people.)
Those Dems in Republican-leaning districts will hold their noses and vote for what makes sense.
Then the "Lame Stream Media" search for "moderate" Republicans who may do so and land on such "serious" Legislative "movers and shakers,"as Nancy Mace (R-NC).
She claims that MyKevin's agreement with Biden is horrendous considering the president "...can't find his pants."
Instead of talking about the good for the country, she offers ad homin attacks at Uncle Joe.
Questions:
1. Are Republican House members serious about passing bills that are good for the nation regardless of party affiliation?
2. Please name those Republican House members who are serious about working across the aisle to do the people's work.

BTW - it took Senator Todd Young 6 years into his role as Republican Senator to feel strong enough to slip the grasp of Trumpism work with Dems for useful domestic and foreign affairs legislation.
[Todd is moving into the Dick Lugar (R-IN) tradition from back in the day when meaningful legislation was passed by opposing parties.]
