The Beltway crowd is always wringing its hands about something, and these days you’re hearing a lot about how President Trump and congressional Republicans are heading into the summer without any major legislative achievements to show.
I’d dispute that, actually. The rollback of regulations via the Congressional Review Act has been a boon to the productive sector of the economy. But it’s true that we’re still waiting on tax cuts, ObamaCare repeal and a lot of other things.
Many are quick to blame the president for this. They say he doesn’t know how to work with Congress and how to deal with the bureaucracy, and he’s too bogged down with things like the Russia story.
