Reel, I'm sure that there are a host of reasons as to why they didn't fix it, but please understand that there is very little difference between the Democrat and republican parties. Now, understand, I'm not talking about the Tea Party, or the Conservative branch of the Republican party, I'm talking about the old school Republicans. I think they didn't fix it because they didn't want to upset their own apple carts. After all, who would re-elect someone that was promising them nothing for free,
no extra money, a tightened belt, hard fiscal times, etc etc. They were/are more interested in their own jobs than what's right for the Country. We have a name for these people. We call them RINO's. (Republicans In Name Only) I'm not saying this is the only reason, but I am saying I think it's one of the primary reasons.
And as to your statement about them being in control many times, well, really that's not so. Even Regan had to work with a Democratic
controlled Congress and Senate. Really, I cannot think of a single time since I've been keeping count (I became a Republican with Ike in the 1950's) of where a Republican President had both houses Republican also.
