What complete control?
They had 60 Senators with a "D" behind their name, which doesn't mean shit if a half dozen of them are voting with the far right.
It takes 60 votes to pass anything meaningful.
If there are only 60 Democrats then all the billionaires have to do is buy one of them.
In the case of Obamacare they went ahead and bought 5 or 6 just so they would have a cushion.
