between Democrats and Republicans as evidenced by the creation of the EPA under Nixon...but today there is a steady drumbeat by - you have to admit this - Republicans that any and all programs proffered by Democrats are to be viewed as "Dead On Arrival"...the product of mis-guided 'Socialists' who are bent on destroying the country...when in actually, numerous Democratic programs in the past (see the parody) have now become engrained, accepted, and even demanded by conservatives and liberals alike...the GOP right now won't even consider debating any of the "Build Back Better" programs...this mindset needs to change...that's why I posted the parody.
You appear to appreciate the value of collaboration between the two parties...sadly, there are millions of "Sue's" out there...and Mitch McConnells...who don't.
