A PAINFUL ADMISSION:

Rare Progress on Trade (New Dem Daily, 7/15/04)

If Harry Truman were still alive, he'd probably call the current Republican-controlled national legislative branch the "do-nothing 108th Congress." And he'd be generally accurate in giving 'em hell.

But in one small but important corner of the national agenda, some progress is being made, with little fanfare and with remarkable bipartisan cooperation. Congress is well on its way to passing a series of significant trade measures.

Of course he would, Truman was a partisan hack.
