History? How bout 2000-2006, when the R's held the House, Senate and WH. We got the Patriot Act and bailouts, among other legislation devastating to America. Did we solve the immigration issue? Did we reduce spending? Did we pass actual, real life health care reform (instead of just insurance reform)? No, the R's got the majority, and did absolutely nothing with it. In fact, in many cases, the R's in the majority were chomping at the bit to "reach across the aisle" and all you hear about is "bipartisanship" BS.
But hey, this time will be different, right?
“We got the Patriot Act and bailouts”
We also had a president and congress which defended us from terror and disease. After the 9—11-01 sucker punch, we nailed those SOBs and Lybia voluntarilly gave us its WMD stock. We developed predator drones. What is being developed now? Troops playing ‘doctor’ in Ebola tents and Iraq on the verge of collapse.
We had tax cuts. We had a much lower deficit than today. And if it weren’t for the DNC, we would have prevented the housing bubble/meltdown of ‘08.
And back then, where was Obama-care? NOWHERE.
Where was comprehensive immigration? Blocked by a thousand-pound gorrilla.
Back then, the internet was still young. We’ve matured. Will it be better? I don’t know. But I can promise you this:
If we don’t win the senate and keep the House, we will be MUCH worse off two years from now.
