Let’s see where we are now….   A whole new congress under new republican power.

Let us now review where we were 6 years ago (2008) (according to Independent Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders):

1. Healthcare only for the rich
2. Two wars going on (losing combat troops every week).
3. More people living in poverty than anytime in American history.
4. More wealth inequality.
5. Financial system on verge of collapse.
6. Losing 700,000 jobs a month
7. 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit (the largest in history).

What the new republican congress will do:

1. Go after social security (privatize).
2. Go after Medicare (de-fund).
3. Major cuts in federal education aid.
4. Major cuts in nutrition aid.
5. Major cuts in environmental protection.
6. Huge tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations.

What a wonderful world to look forward to.   Go ahead, ask me why I shorten my life by smoking!
