Opinion: Harry Truman’s 'Do-nothing Congress' was a whirlwind of activity compared to today’s, writes Don Gale.
In this image from video, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky speaks in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Feb. 12, 2021.President Harry Truman called lawmakers of his time the “Do-nothing Congress.” But the Congress of Truman’s time was a whirlwind of activity compared to the current chair-sitters.
McConnell’s senatorial dictatorship endangers American democracy. It’s time to remove the clamps, act like Americans, and debate issues confronting the nation. The same is true for health care. Too many citizens have little or no access to the marvels of modern medicine. Many of those medical marvels were created right here in America, but deserving neighbors can’t use them because of outdated record-keeping and bureaucratic foot-dragging. Socialized medicine is not the answer. It stifles creativity. But Congress should be talking about workable American solutions.
Regulations guaranteeing reliable and diverse sources for news and information were created almost a century ago. Some of those important rules have been weakened or modified. And, to make matters worse, newer sources of false information such as cable, satellites, streaming, the internet and other new technologies have no regulatory oversight at all.
