Even during a time of intense political division, the global computer-chip shortage should be something both Republicans and Democrats be in total agreement that something needs to be done.

Try buying a new car. Need a new home appliance — you may have to wait weeks. Even smartphones are more expensive.

Members of Congress say they want to do something to help businesses and consumers. Both the House and the Senate have passed major computer chip aid legislation in what is one of the final opportunities before the November elections to show voters they are addressing the nation’s supply-chain issue.

Working out the differences between the two congressional bodies should be easy — right.

Wrong.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Senate Republicans are digging in before the negotiations formally begin. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is demanding major concessions from Democrats, otherwise “this legislation has no chance of becoming law.”

Democrats are demanding that their voices be heard on number of concerns.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said it best when asked about the roadblocks thrown at aid legislations.

“I have a hard time explaining to my friends and constituents that when the White House is in favor of something, when Democrats are in favor of something, Republicans are in favor of something, the House is in favor of something, and the Senate is in favor of it, we still can’t get it done,” he said.

Passing computer-chip aid legislation to help consumers and businesses that President Joe Biden can sign should be a no-brainer.

Just get it done.
