    Republicans control the House.

    However, when the Dems did recently control the House, they managed to pass the infrastructure act, and the inflation reduction act, two huge pieces of domestic legislation.

    When the Rs had the House, Senate, and White House from 2016-18, they refused to pass any kind of infrastructure act, despite that being one of the cornerstones of the Trump campaign. The only thing they really did was pass a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans that raised taxes in the middle class and increased the deficit.

      Now that you mention it, what ever happened to infrastructure week that Trump promised back in 2017?

        Same thing that happened with every Trump promise that would have made positive social change, they were lies.
