Can anyone describe the democrat agenda for the next two years in detail?

Question

People wanted the Dems in power, but do they actually know what they plan to do other than their usual modus operandi of complaining and whining but never offering real solutions.

Answer 1

I'm not sure even the Democrats know what their agenda will be.

Answer 2

Here is a little of what we can look forward to..
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) Would Chair The House Ways And Means Committee he said he is Allowing The Tax Cuts To Expire.Failing To Extend The Tax Cuts Would Result In A Nearly $2.4 Trillion Tax Increase On American Taxpayers. (Office Of The Press Secretary, The White House, "Growing Our Economy: Keeping Taxes Low And Restraining Spending," Press Release, 5/3/06)

115 Million Taxpayers Would Pay An Average Of $1,716 More A Year;
84 Million Women Would Face An Average Increase Of $1,970 A Year;
48 Million Married Couples Would Pay An Average Of $2,726 More A Year;
42 Million Families With Children Would Face An Average Increase Of $2,084 A Year;
A Family Of Four Earning $50,000 Today Would Owe An Additional $2,092 A Year - A 132 Percent Increase In Their Tax Bill;
A Family Of Four Earning $60,000 Today Would Owe An Additional $1,858 A Year - A 58 Percent Increase In Their Tax Bill;
12 Million Single Mothers Would Face An Average Increase Of $1,062 A Year;
17 Million Seniors Would Pay An Average Of $2,034 More A Year;
26 Million Small Businesses Would Owe An Average Of $3,637 More A Year;
5 Million Low-Income Individuals And Couples Would Again Be Subject To The Individual Income Tax. (U.S. Department Of Treasury, "Without Permanent Tax Relief, Millions Of Americans Will See Their Taxes Go Up By Billions Of Dollars In 2011," Fact Sheet)

Rep. Rangel, Said He Would Cut Off Funds To Troops In Harm's Way If Dems Win House:

"The Manhattan Democrat Is In Line To Take Over As Chairman Of The House Ways And Means Committee, Which Drafts The Government's General Spending Outlines - And Says He'd Use That Position To Cut Off Funding For The War." (Editorial, "Charlie's Plan To Stab The Troops," New York Post, 9/27/06)

"[W]hen Pressed On How He Could Stop The War Even If Democrats Control The House During The Last Years Of President Bush's Second Term, Rangel Paused Before Saying, 'You've Got To Be Able To Pay For The War, Don't You?'" (Bob Cusack, "Anxious Dems Eye Power Of The Purse On Iraq," The Hill, 9/26/06)
New York Post Said Rep. Rangel's Proposal "[W]ould Leave America's Fighting Forces High And Dry ..." (Editorial, "Charlie's Plan To Stab The Troops," New York Post, 9/27/06)

Answer 3

well, it depends on if they actually won the Senate or not. if the Dems have gained control of both Houses of government there's a lot they can do to start repairing the damages wrought by 6 years of unchecked neoCON power. but if only the Congress has been won the best the Dems can do is to erect speed bumps in the road of the neoCON agenda. it'll be nice to have some checks, balance and oversight of how and where our resources are spent. investigations into neoCON cronyism and corruption might prove interesting too.

PS. hehehe! look at how you neoCONNED whine and whimper! sore losers so filled with propagandized fear. someone says "give the Dems a couple of weeks". weeks?! to clean up 6 years of corrupted neoCON mess?! how generous! hahaha!

Answer 4

The Republicans have not had an agenda until Bush came up with, "STAY THE COURSE" and "THOSE EVIL DOERS!".

I am sure the Democrats can do at least that well. Let's give them a couple weeks to see what they can do.............The Republicans have done nothing but get us into a war we can't get out of..................If Saddam is not hung before Bush leaves office, I sincerely hope he doesn't pardon him on his way out the back door.

I can promise you one thing, the Democrats will "VEER FROM THE COURSE"!

Answer 5

Fuss and fight; fight and fuss; whine and cry; cry and whine; shoot themselves in the foot. The dems/libs can not help themselves. They are going to be dems/libs just give them time.
Look for support of gay marriage; gun control; national health insurance; a sharp increase in taxes; and a never ending bad mouth and disdain for our brave men and women fighting for our country. Give them enough time and they will be dems/libs and shoot themselves in the foot........that is if there are any more guns left.

Any one remember the Old Will Rogers discription of a Democratic Firing Squad.......a circle!! Give them time.

Answer 6

I'm actually looking forward to seeing if they can change anything that they have complained about. I think it will be a refreshing look at what they actually DO do rather than whine about. I'd like to see if they really make a difference, and in my heart of hearts, i'm almost glad they took over (not really, but you know what I mean)...like can they now PROVE that they can do something better than the economy booming and unemployment being at an all time low? Oh wait, not in my state since minimum wage increase ballot passed meaning employers are going to higher less people!!! idiots.

Answer 7

Not even the Dem's know there plan.

Answer 8

Oh my god, i haven't laughed so hard!!
You actually used the words democratic agenda and detail in the same sentence!
Classic!

Answer 9

u know nobody is perfect on either side and nobody on here can tell u what there going to do dont you understand how our government works???????every thing has to pass thru the house n senate then be approved by the president so i wouldn't get to shook and go read some history so u wont be asking such silly questions!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Amnesty, amnesty, and amnesty. They will give ALL the illegals amnesty!! Watch out America, we will be paying for this for years!
