Was there any major bipartisan legislation passed under Orange, or even Barry for that matter?

Nice to have realistic professionals back in charge.

  Why do I have this fear that at least half of that (I'm being nice) is a bullshit waste of money? Oh, yeah, its because wasting money is one of the few things the parties can agree on.
  
  One can always hope, though. You never know.

    More than half is a waste of money... but that is pretty decent from the government.
