[QUOTE="mark46, post: 75624980, member: 257078"] The progressives seem to think that they have a chance for the passage of lots of legislation by the new Congress. What do you think has a good chance of becoming law? I would remind folks that almost all legislation requires at least 60 votes in the Senate to pass. ================================================ Personally, I think that the answer is almost nothing. There will be lots and lots of changes by Executive Order and by changes in policies in the various Executive Branch agencies. There will be some compromise legislation on such things as budgets and debt limits (that has to happen or the government closes down). I believe that there will limited compromise legislation on health care and other items. But these won't please the left. Let me use the example of healthcare. We are not going to see Medicare expansion. More likely is protections for those with pre-conditions, allowing insurers to have policies that are offered in more than one state, purchases of drugs from Canada, and forcing Medicare to have competitive bidding for drugs. DACA folk may be given a path to citizenship, but even legal status by the Congress would help. [/QUOTE]
