Is the newly democratic controlled congress good for our country?

Question

In your opinion, is the newly elected democratic congress going to help the United States or hurt it? Explain.

Answer 1

The Democrats might change the US to a better future in Iraq and international community when they assume the Congress in January.

Answer 2

It is going to help for the simple fact that now it is almost 50/50. Meaning that that idiot we call a president can't pass stupid unconstitustional laws like the patriot act. Now , we have a government that can govern itself. If the Democrats get outragous the Republicans can keep them in check because there are still enough of them to keep from passing stupid laws also. The only down fall is grid lock, but being there is a little bit more for one party, this shouldn't happen.

Answer 3

Yes of course. This country will be in better shape and our troops will come home! There will be an re-institution of a lot of social programs that have been underfunded or not funded at all. You will not see as many homeless and hungry people, things are looking up, finally.

Answer 4

i honestly do not see how they can hurt the country anymore than its already been hurt in the past six years. we are in debt more now than ever and no one is doing anything to stop it. the taxes are going to have to be raised back up to pay our expense of running the government .the waste in Iraq has to be stopped and the people has to be held accountable for the money that has been stolen. no bid contracts have to stop. if they do this our country will be much better off.

Answer 5

I really don't see it making a huge difference either way!Now, who is going to be honest and not party oriented?

Answer 6

Yes.

The Republican party exists to further the interests of corporations and the wealthy elite who control them. The dems further the interests of the common man.
