Last minute bills kicking the can down the line remove responsibility from congress in actually passing long-term legislation. Our infrastructure is rapidly failing, with bridges, tunnels can and roads around the country at major risk of crumbling and collapse. We cannot keep delaying action - the congress is elected to make difficult decisions, and continuing to delay months and years without an answer is dereliction of the duty to which members of congress were elected. Vote now, or bear responsibility for the inevitable and dangerous results of inaction.
