CONGRESS WORKED TOGETHER -IT’S SNOWING UNITY IN WASHINGTON

The Washington Metropolitan area gets snow sometimes and plenty of, but seldom does it snow unity. Unity is a rare sighting in the nation’s capital particularly in the halls of Congress. Perhaps it was the spirit of the holiday season – Christmas and giving that brought the parties together to do something good for the country they could agree upon.

Whatever brought about the unity, we applaud the Congress’s ability to work together instead of against each other – a most welcomed change. The Congress signed a $1.8 trillion dollar federal spending and tax break bill on Friday December 18, 2015. The Members of Congress it seems remembered what representing their constituents is all about. Americans are tired of the bickering that goes on in Congress leaving very little time to get needed work done.

The talk of a government shut-down has simmered and there is little possibility of that happening in light of the Congress’s new found spirit of cooperation. Former Governor of Virginia, L. Douglas Wilder, recently asserted during a review of his latest book – that the talk of reaching across the aisle should not be a subject in Congress because there should be no aisle to reach across – simply putting forth work that represents a Government that is for the people, of the people and by the people.
