(373 posts)2. No. I don't want to wait six weeks and see the Republicans hold our livelihood hostage again.
No. I want a full term deal and 95% cut on both of the Republican porks - MIC and Oil & Gas. Divert the funds to social programs and jobs creation.
And then I want the Republicans to resign en-masse creating vacancies that can give the gavel to Pelosi. The replacements will be about 75% Democratic.
