Partly it doesn't happen because you can't really get much done even if you have a majority. You really end up needing a super majority.
The one thing both parties agree on though is running up a massive deficit

Assuming you're talking about the Senate filibuster, then this can be changed or removed by simple majority vote. It's not in the Constitution, just a rule that the Senate adopted.
Like, personally I think that even sans filibuster, the Senate would move much slower than the House, because of election cycles.
