They have had a simple majority for the last 20 months but that's it.
The last majority was Republican and it lasted ten years.
Six of those years included control of all three branches.



Unless the Republicans had 2/3's of the Senate during those 6 years, their majority was
simple also.

The great majority of the problems we are experiencing today is the
result of the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act of 1933, under, you
guessed it, Slick Willie. The repeal of that act allowed commercial and
investment banks to intermingle and that is when the greed and
corruption set in.
