Some things need more than a simple majority to pass, but I don't think this is one of them. Like Democrats, Republicans don't necessarily all vote the same. Some are probably resisting for whatever reason. Could be good reasons, could be bad. But the opposing party is a better scapegoat than your own and the sad reality is that most Americans are not paying enough attention to notice the holes in the logic of what they're saying. So that's why they're blaming Democrats.

I think it passed the house, a simple majority, but got tied up in the senate were you need 60 votes(60%). So without some democrats willing to vote yes in the senate it got hung up. Republicans were unwilling to negotiate on key items and that is where the finger pointing from both sides come from. So in away yes the democrats are “at fault” for doing their jobs and not voting yes on something they do not agree with. But so are the republicans for showing no willingness to discuss and change things to get it to pass. You know the thing that they are suppost to do.
