So the house republicans and democrats are in a room and there is a large log in the middle that needs to be lifted. The log is called the economy. The dems pick up their side and say, "hey, help us lift this thing."
Reps: No
Dems: Why?
Reps: Because you want it.
Dems: OK, what do you want?
Reps: A bunch of unrelated shit. Like an oil pipeline through the heartland and the removal of authority of the EPA to restrain our polluting buddies.
Dems: Well, that has nothing to do with the ecomony, but this is so important, we will agree. Now will you please pick up your side of it?
Reps: No. We won't work with you on anything. Whatever you want, we will kill, even if its something that we want too. Then you'll get blamed and we'll get rewarded. So fuck off.
And the media reports read, "Congress Unable to Work Together"
