There seems to be a problem of inefficiency in the government. Healthcare ran through the House for months before reaching the Senate.  What was the Senate doing all this time?  Why couldn't they work on tax reform Approval at the same time -- one plan with repeal, and one plan without it?  Tax reform should at least be ready for a vote today, and sent to the Senate for finalization.  Maybe the House and Senate should work on the bills at the same time, wouldn't this be faster? If McCain was so intent on getting a bipartisan bill on healthcare, why did he wait until the last minute to say so?  Then they go on vacation for a month an a half, leaving little time to pass a budget and raise the debt ceiling.  Of course we're worried they can't get anything done, or maybe 'panic' is a better word.
