Pt. 17 23339 For all our success so far this year. we have done more than people ever expected. Now. we could have done a lot more than that. but Republicans have sought to block our progress. it seems sometimes at all costs. We could have reduced the cost of prescription drugs. but Republicans filibustered that. We could have passed comprehensive immigration reform. but we only got 12 Republican votes. We could have ensured our troops received sufficient rest and time home between deploymentsthat was the Webb amendmentbut once again we were blocked by most of the Republicans. The minority has forced 42 cloture votes already this year. many on legislation that wasnt even controversial.
