In 2014 Obama proposed a lot of different policies including patent reform, immigration, work VISAs, etc, etc and almost none of them were implemented because of Congress being full of a bunch of idiots.
Obama has his ideas, and a guy like Paul Ryan has his ideas, and while they disagree a lot about what to do, they do seem to agree that there is a fundamental problem. This issue is that nothing seems to get done because of the gridlock.
I'm mentioning Ryan because he is probably the only guy Obama has a chance of getting to the table to hammer out some deals.

So, if those thing are good, why did Congress turn them down? Money I'm assuming?
