You cant throw out dates, like poll numbers, to describe the circumstances without having the context that surrounds theose dates no?

Yeah, bill got passed on this date so subtracting that number from this one tells me how long it takes to pass a bill and we can draw a conclusion from that about the possibilities of today?

How much was the cost of healthcare then vs. now? How much personal debt was being handled? How was the wealth generated from the economy being shared?

Today's circumstances are today's and can't see how you can parallel an arbitrary time line of a bill's passage from the past to ascribe a future potential bills passage. If you want to limit the notion of what's possible or what's occurring to people presently then it may be used as a feint, I suppose. I'm not saying your doing that, Perosita, only that I've seen both political factions use this 'comparative' reasoning.
