Yay Dems! Hope is not lost. I am relieved more than anything. At least the damn of the disaster being wrought upon this country will be plugged. And if one dares to hope (which I do), perhaps good things can be accomplished. The "first 100 hours" is a start. Increasing the minimum wage (to a whopping $7.25 an hour - I can't believe there is opposition to this), allowing the gov. to negotiate Medicare prescription drug prices (another no-brainer, but anathema to big-business), eliminating some corporate subsidies for the OIL industry. Good God. Not exactly a progressive agenda, more like a massive clean-up after a child's temper-tantrum! But this is where we are now. Clean-up first, then real change.
Oh, and can I just give a big thanks to Karl Rove, whose constant cynicism and open hostility to the american people served us very well in this election.
