What do you think the Democrats will get done before 2008
- Thread starter ntdz
- Start date
minimum wage increase
some bush tax cuts will expire
tax deduction for college tuition (with the $ coming from the above)
medicare will be allowed to negotiate with drug companies
and I feel like capital hill will see a lot less partisan warfare as people are forced to compromise if they want to get anything done. I'm also crossing my fingers that we'll see an investigation into Cheney's top secret energy council.

I think we will see an era of 90's like grid lock.
Both parties have to work together on Iraq, which I think they will.
Look for moderates on both sides to forge a plan with Bush.
On anything else Bush can just veto. Might give them the wage hike.
But any tax increases or other liberal type dreams will not happen.
Also any Democrat attemtps to get rid of NSA or Patriot Act etc play right into the hands of Republicans who can paint the Democrats as weak on defense.
Personally I hope the Dems try to run hog wild and Bush vetos them to death. Thereby setting up a clear choice in 2008.
But if the Dems play it down the middle 2008 becomes that much harder for Republicans.

A lot of the Democrats who won today were moderates or maybe even considered right-leaning. I agree with the minimum wage, medicare, etc., but it'll be interesting to see what else they do.

Minimum wage increase, which of course will cuase a rise in the overall price of goods. But we'll "feel good" because we did something.
Tax hikes, which means not only are you paying more for your goods but your taking home less. But the lazy of the country will be getting more money, so I guess we'll "feel good" because we did something.
Gun bans, because you certainly dont want your subjects armed! But we'll "feel good" because we've taken a major step is stopping crime and stripping Rights from citizens.
Open Borders, because hey everyone who comes here is good honest folk. Increase in crime, undermining of American culture, more money spent on "feel good" programs to help the poor. And a huge injection to the D voter base when 30 million illegals get permanent Green Card.
Defund the military and pull out of Iraq. Send a strong message to the terrorists of the world America no longer has the spine to stand up for itself. Iraq will become a haven of terrorist activity. Iran will get The Bomb, and North Korea will be bolder then ever. And why shouldnt they, overnight we've become a nation of cowards. Expect the next 9/11 to be nuclear, but fear not for we shall issue strong words to the offenders.
I dont know what all we've lost tonight, but I think we've just lost the war on radical islam, and we're well and truly fvcked.

So, it's the Democrats' fault that your moronic hero put us so far into debt that China now owns both Washington, DC and NYC? And, by the way, no human named George Bush has ever won a war.😉 We've been losing this "war" since the day George W. Gump decided he wanted to play war.
