There is none. The U.S. has just managed to put into power a group of people whose entire political philosophy, and their entire platform, is NOTHING beyond "I hate George Bush!"
They have no exit strategy from Iraq. They have no plans to save Social Security. They have no plans to defend us against terrorism. They have no idea how to run the government. They have no concept of how business works. They have no concept of what the Constitution or Bill of Rights mean. They have no plan for reducing size of the Federal government or bureaucracy. They have no plan for reducing the Federal deficit except to raise our taxes, and then spend even more money. They have no plan for improving Health Care except to socialize it.
And we've managed to put into power a party that has, traditionally, stated that you, Mr. or Mrs. John Q. Public, are entirely too stupid to know how to run your own life, so just let them run everything for you.
The next few years ought to be especially perverted.

Well - you should maybe turn ON the news.
The neoCon mantra of "they have no plan" isn't going to wash anymore - because anyone who HAS been reading/watching the news knows that the Dems have actually outlined a very SPECIFIC agenda for the first 100 hours of the new session - and they have also discussed SPECIFIC plans regarding Iraq - and it's NOT "cut and run" in any way, shape or form.
The Karl Rove strategy of repeating to death phrases like "cut & run", and "they have no plan", and "their only agenda is to hate Bush" doesn't work anymore because the citizenry, for the most part, realizes that that's all a bunch of total B.S.
It's time to start watching the NEWS - not those commentators who allow you to continue to live in a bubble devoid of what's really going on or what people are ACTUALLY saying.
It's why you lost and the Dems took back both houses of Congress. Because most Americans actually started paying attention.
It's time to either catch up or get left behind. Knowledge is power.

1. So small business owners should be allowed to pay someone $0.03 an hour for doing work 10X harder than some wealthy businessman?
2. Nowhere have I seen that the effect of cutting subsidies would raise the price of gas. It makes no sense to even think about.
3. Yeah, so someone who makes about $150,000 a year should pay the same taxes as someone who makes about $30,000 a year? Oh that's soooo fair! Plus, most jobs that pay more, or those who get paid more do LESS actual work than those who work for less.
4. Oh so student loans are a bad thing now? Everyone has a nice big trust fund that they can get into college with. So we should now not only LOWER the minimum, but keep people from getting into college.
Okay, someone explain how this is supposed to work? You cut the minimum wage to almost nothing. And then cut funding for student loans. So basically only the wealthy can afford to get into a college to actually get a decent job. Yeah, makes alot of sense doesn't it? You conservatives are so apt on telling people to get out and get a real/good job, yet you want to remove their chances at being able to do that. Catch 22 right there.

I heard that they will in the 1st 100 hours-
1. Raise minimum wage - killing small business owners & raising the cost of items
2. Cut the subsides of oil & gas - raising the price of those
3. negate the tax breaks - taking more of your money & killing the economy
4. Cut college student loans - taking more of your money to pay for those loans.
5. demand that the troops come home early - before the job is completed in Iraq. This will prove to the rest of the Arab world that WE are paper tigers and embolden them to pursue more attacks on us and allies.

Make sure Roe V. Wade doesn't get overturned, Push Stem Cell intiatives through, raise taxes for the upper class, lower taxes for the middle class, put bush under a microscope, hand out supeanas, hold Big bussiness accountable, balance the budget, keeping the house and senate centrist, elimate faith based initiatives and keep church and state seperate.

Other than raise the taxes in the first 100 hours, they have no plan.
