Bernie to introduce new Billionaire tax with benefits going to needs of THE PEOPLE!

4. Actually, we aren't.

We remain at the same stalling point we have been at for some time. Congress cannot act on much of anything right now, much less something extraordinary like Bernie's tax idea.

Before anything can happen one of the parties is going to need a solid majority in the House and at least a 60-vote majority in the Senate. Both are required.

Until that happens, we will remain stalled, with the Executive branch making the calls and the Judicial branch sometimes blocking the most unconstitutional of those calls.

Bernie Sanders has very, very little success during his career with introducing bills that end up becoming law. That is his weakness. He introduces things. They die. And that's the story, every time. It's not his ideas that are flawed; they're good. It's the balance of power in Congress.
