Republicans then lose power and Democrats make decent progress fixing it.
Republicans vociferously complain that Democrats aren't cleaning up the GOP mess fast enough.
The lesson: We'll do a lot better reminding voters how Republicans screwed things up in the first place than pointing out the progress we're making now.
