Déjà vu All Over Again

Today
"Vice President Joe Biden argued on Thursday that Republicans were hurting the country by refusing to hold a hearing to consider Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court, and challenged law students to name one way in which Congress was functioning."
Joe Biden Is Genuinely Curious: WTF Is Congress Doing?, Sam Levine, Huffington Post, 24 Mar 2016.

I remember hearing something like that…

Past
"We all joke about Congress but we can't improve on them. Have you noticed that no matter who we elect, he is just as bad as the one he replaces?"

"The Senate just sits and waits till they find out what the president wants, so they know how to vote against him."

"The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the Democrat is a cannibal. They have to live off each other, while the Republicans, why, they live off the Democrats." (1.)

Moral 
“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”(2.) Please consider not sitting much longer.

(1.) & (2.) Will Rogers (1879-1935) was a popular columnist, humorist, actor and cowboy philosopher. He died along with Wiley Post in an airplane crash while touring Alaska. Rogers was 56 yrs old. Of the statues in the Capitol, the Rogers sculpture is the only one facing the Chamber entrance. It’s reported, erroneously of course, that upon discussing the placement his likeness in the Capitol building, Rogers said, “Put me where I can keep an eye on them”. According to guides at the Capitol, each President rubs the left shoe of the Rogers statue for good luck before entering the House Chamber to give the State of the Union address.
