Exactly! They can make so many reforms now and that's good for consulting

P1 - do you mean the economic crisis?

I meant the generally inability to get ones shit in order. There was more than an economic crisis happening.

Last time they had unfettered control was under Dubya, right?

I'd hardly call it unfettered. There is, for instance, no "supermajority"

If they hold the majority, they can remove the filibuster at the start of the next congress. The "nuclear" option.

Limited usefulness. But all the presidential powers Obama has been setting precedent for are going to make things interesting.

It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.
