I thought the 74 Congress was nuts, this one beats that one by a mile. 74 brought us such noteworthy nem members as Waxman, Dodd, Harkin, Spellman, Sobester, Baucus, Hightower, Hughes and Florio from NJ, Ford from Tenn and Obester. They joined Holzman from NY, the Burtons from Cal along with Stark and Dellums, Schroeder from Col; Young from Ga; Absug from NY; Drinan and Stubbs from Mass who were recently elected and a bunch of other lefties who were already there including “I did not ask for that bribe” Murtha from Pa.
A walk down memory lane. LOL Yes, we’ve kind of been there before but those folks were not quite the obsessive haters that this new crop is. Combine this with an ever growing field of Democrats who want to take on Trump and things could get really ugly over the next two years. The question is how much of their revolutionary radicalism will America be willing to put up with?
The new Dems will control the purse strings (which the Republicans failed to do) and will demand evermore spending. The problem this poses for them is that we are already running a $22 trillion debt on top of mountains of unfunded liabilities. The only way the Dems will be able to spend more is to tax more, which will retard economic growth and reverse the current state of prosperity. This could get them into trouble.
