The Senate is Still Dysfunctional

Well, the Senate is back in session but it hasn’t changed its ways. The Republicans voted unanimously against the confirmation of Henry Aaron to serve on the advisory board for Social Security for a term that ends in 18 days.

I am not certain why they all opposed Mr. Aaron, but I assume it is just a temper tantrum related to Harry Reid using the nuclear option.

I wish the American people better understood the degree of childishness that the Republicans demonstrate on a daily basis.
