While they may not be identical, they certainly are two branches of the same tree.
Why are we still in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Why do we not get health care reforms?
Why are perscription drug prices out of control?
Why is the post office going broke?
What happened to card check?
Why does the Military budget increase damn near exponentially every year?
etc....
Iraq and Afghanistan: George Bush fucked up those regions so bad that if we withdraw all support it will destabilize the entire middle east. our US government turned it into a hotbed for groups who now hate the U.S. we're stuck. it would be irresponsible and dangerous to pull out completely after fucking it up so badly.
healthcare reforms: dude, im confused you even asked this. the fuck...you aint been paying attention for the past 30 years??? you hear of the ACA? heard how republicans have voted to abolish it for 7 years? how theyve sabotaged it in 22 states? congressional democrats STAY trying to reform healthcare.
prescription drug prices: When a Republican-majority Congress created the Medicare drug benefit in 2003, they barred the program that now covers 40 million Americans from negotiating drug prices. Medicaid, on the other hand, must cover all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration, regardless of whether a cheaper, equally or more effective drug is available. And private insurers rarely negotiate prices because the third party pharmacy benefits managers that administer prescription drugs, such as Express Scripts and CVS Health, often receive payments from drug companies to shift market share in their favor, according to the study.

why is the post office going broke: So why
is the USPS struggling financially?
A lot of people point to the rise of email, as well as private competitors like FedEx. Certainly, all those things contribute to USPS's problems. But what's really dragging down the Postal Service is something else entirely.
Namely, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006.
Passed by a Republican-led Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush, the PAEA gave the Postal Service new accounting and funding rules for its retiree pension and health benefits. Up until 2006, the USPS funded those obligations on a pay-as-you-go-basis, pulling out of its pension fund and adding to it as retirees' costs came in. But the PAEA required the Postal Service to calculate
all of its likely pension costs over the next 75 years, and then sock away enough money between 2007 and 2016 to cover most of them.

What happened to card check? you really trying to blame congressional democrats for suppressing labor unions? c'mon son.
Why does the Military budget increase damn near exponentially every year? the U.S. senate under Obama cut military defense spending. its been padded by the Senate under Trump.
every issue you just named is the responsibility of republican presidents and congressional leaders.
why is that?
