Minority Leader Pelosi needs to assess the potential for function of the next Congress.

It may be the next Congress will be more functional than the current Lame Duck Congress.

The current House of Representatives and Senate have had their chance. They didn't address the nation's problems. It is because Republicans have been unwilling to move forward with any agenda item on the sincere list of problems of the USA.

Minority Leader Pelosi needs to be able to assess the possibility of the next Congress actually solving the problems of the nation. It may be there are enough returning and new Democrats in the House to have some Republicans join them to bring about the forward movement the country needs on the nation's debt, deficit, tax reform and protecting Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid and the needs of our children.

It may be the nation has to allow the new Congress to take their seats before there can be resolution of their problems.

It would be nice if the Lame Duck Congress could actually solve these problems but it isn't going to happen, so why bother.

Why compromise what can happen with the next Congress? No reason to put the country at risk when there is potential otherwise.
