> None of the great works in the US would have been completed without it I'm not so sure about that. People like to point out Johnson's wheeling and dealing but there was a broad consensus in US politics, he had a near mastery of the senate, and he ultimately broke the existing party alliances. Looking further back you really see most large bills getting done through essentially 1 party rule or during a crisis. FDR had gigantic majorities.
