You are absolutely right, the Republican party has held too much power during that time frame. But the solution is not for the Democrats to suddenly be the ones in charge of everything, either.

People complain that when the president is from one party and Congress is controlled by the other, that very little ever gets done due to fighting. But that is much more preferable to one party getting to ram their entire agenda through uncontested. At least when the two sides are forced to have discussions about the issues, they usually arrive at joint agreements that don't include radical viewpoints from either side.

IMO this country was ran most effectively when Republicans had control of the House under Newt the Senate and Supreme Court were split and Clinton was in the Whitehouse. They seemed to work good together. Wages and jobs went up our allies overseas were in love with us.
