There are some things the new Congress can do.

Freeze all FedGov spending.

Recall all TARP/bailout money not spent - which is a hellofa lot

Start making in cuts, begin with the re-imposition of the ‘welfare reforms’ recently overturned.

Start another - but better named - “Operation Wetback”

Fix the ‘Bush tax cuts’ by making them permanent

Jam a stick in the spokes of Freddie and Fannie - and clean out the nest of corrutions by firing all the Dem robbers i those organizations

Free Willy

Tell Germany - goodby - for that matter tell South Korea, Ahell, tell all of Europe goodby - and the Brits - goodby to them as well. Leave Kosovo - if it is important - Europe can sort it out and pay for it.

Reduce US Corporate taxes 5%, drop capital gains taxes for 4 years.

There is a lot that could be done - but is the will to overcome entrenched special interests there????

I agree that there are lots of things we could do but it will require sacrifice and cause pain to the entitlement crowd.

I don’t think we have the willpower to do it and suspect that any politician or party that causes such pain will get decimated in the next election.

The moral thing to do is eat the losses now to ensure a better future for our children. I don’t think there are enough of us that feel like that and half our citizens are beneficiaries with a vote.

I feel sick for my children. What our gov’t and fellow citizens are doing to them is absolutely wrong and unconstitutional. No generation or generations should have the right to saddle future generations with crushing debt and worthless dollars but our nation is oblivious to what is coming.

But, “moderates” will stymie all of that.

Don’t be too “extreme” and stop spending, reform welfare, Fannie Mae, protect the unborn, call out the GW lie or enfore borders.

No, that’s BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

The Republicans can't really do much of that. They can't get positive meăsures past the Senate or Veto. They can cut off funds for the socialist stuff but they cannot kill the programs, only put them into hiatus until November 2012. But they have to keep passing stuff in the House and pushing stuff in the Senate. They have to keep DOING so that Soetoro becomes the apparent and real Obstructionist.
