How Problem Solvers Caucus Attacks Gridlock in Congress. Don Bacon & Kurt Schrader

from Let's Find Common Ground · host Common Ground Committee

From the outside, Congress appears broken. Bills get bogged down in partisan fights, leaders openly smear each other, and animosity between members is at an all-time high. But our guests show that if you look closer, you'll find a group of dedicated politicians working together across the aisle to craft workable legislation and get things done.  Republican Congressman Don Bacon represents Nebraska's 2nd District. Democrat Kurt Schrader represents Oregon's 5th District. Both are members of the congressional Problem Solvers Caucus, a group equally split between Democrats and Republicans who are committed to finding common ground on key issues. In our surprisingly candid conversation, we get a peek behind the curtain at what's really going on in Congress, how the infrastructure bill was passed into law, and the harmful effect the media has on Americans' view of politics.
