(12,233 posts)legislation that is passed (if anything got past) during the years that both of them were in office at the same time, was funding govt and certain programs.
NOW, if Single Payer healthcare had a vote, where would the two stand? If congress had a bill that taxed Hedge-funds at 30%, to help pay for free college, where would the two stand? If there was a bill stating min wage must be in line with a "living wage" (and a real one that actually could afford housing, food, and savings), where would they stand? I have a feeling there differences were in items like free trade agreements, Iraq War, and cutting food stamp programs.
I've seen this line pulled out of thin air time and time again like they are liberal. OUR congress is anything but despised. 9% approval rating for the lot. They do NOTHING for most of the people and constantly do more for their large donors.
