Republicans are going to slaughter Democrats in the next election??

I simply cannot believe that.

If America does indeed have such a short memory, how much longer can we last as a nation?

Contrary to all the arguments about "they all do it", it was the Republicans and their misguided ideology that put us in the hole from which we are now trying to escape.

There is no reason to believe that the Republicans have changed the way they believe? They still think taxcuts for the wealthy are the solution for just about every problem that ails us. And they still refuse to admit that their policies put us into this predicament.

Democrats are far from perfect. But none of the Democratic policies created the debt or the huge deficits that we are now battling. Democrats may spend on different programs but they try to pay for them. They don't put it on the credit card, which is what the Republicans have done since the election of Ronald Reagan. More than 90% of our debt has occurred since 1981.

For me to believe that the Republicans will swamp the Democrats in the next election, I would have to believe that there are no more Republicans that read or know the truth. I would have to believe they simply follow what Mitch McConnell or John Boehner might tell them. I cannot believe that.

That is why I believe the Democrats will maintain control of the House and the Senate. The people will give them a chance to clean up the mess. They will not go back to the same politics that got us to where we are today. I simply cannot believe that.
