I don’t really care if the latest bill to pay for the Highway Trust Fund is Congress at its worst because what’s worse than a stupid funding mechanism is no mechanism at all.

This Congress is perpetually on the verge of failing to do the most basic things, like pay our bills, keep our agencies open and functioning, and maintaining our roads and bridges. This isn’t going to change until the Republicans are no longer in control of any part of the government. So, I’m used to it. And all I want is for us to avoid defaulting on our debt or having to stop repair crews on our interstate highways.

I know my expectations are low, but it’s been a long time since I had any positive aspirations in politics. For me, it’s all about mitigation, mitigation, mitigation. Every day we keep the GOP out of power is a good day. I have not forgotten waking each day during the Bush administration to find ten articles on different ways that the Republicans were ruining the world.
