you need such a big majority to get any bill passed that it’s basically never going to happen.
the US political system is explicitly designed to stop things from getting done under ridiculous notions of checks and balances that really equate to masses of red tape. Mainly this is because the formation of the united states was only intended to be a means of paying off the debt for the revolutionary war and paying the continental armies pensions so the american state literally wasn’t designed to be capable of running a country.

Didn’t George Washington only side with the revolutionaries because he was balls deep in debt and wouldn’t be able to collect on people who owed him money if there was no system in place to enforce it?

there was an issue in that Virginia was the only state with the money to pay so the others needed their help paying for the war. As a result all the states formed one entity that could pay the debt
