We (those who vote) can, but we don't.  The enemy is us!  It is the old Catch-22.  In my case, we have a many term congress person, who has ascended to a good level of power (through longevity), which likely brings "back" money a new person could not do.  So, does one vote for the powerful incumbent, or put in a newbie, who will likely not be able to do anything for several terms...

Then there is the gerrymandering issue...

The Senate Finance Committee is pushing to pass the extenders.

However the House is showing little or no interest.

Likely the only way it passes is if the Senate attaches it to next CR on February 8th.

How long do they have until they decide on extenders that are still hanging for 2017? Forever?

Damn, I would not want to play scrabble or hangman with you! Although I do have the ultimate hangman word. Don't ask. I can't tell anyone until after I've used it on them in hangman. And it's only 3 letters!
