It was a year ago that we suffered the first government shutdown in 17 years. a shutdown caused by the House Majoritys inability to contemplate negotiation. Even by the Speakers own criteria of "laws repealed" instead of laws passed. we have been remarkably unproductive. Without any coherent legislative strategy. the Republican majority has attempted to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act over 50 times. However. we still cannot find the time to extend longterm unemployment insurance. fix our broken immigration system. or tackle any of the other challenges that our constituents sent us here to fix. One of the easiest steps we can take would be to reauthorize the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act.
