Will this make America great again? Or are you dreading this new Republican agenda?

I'm ready for real Hope & Change, which begins when the Chosen One leaves the White House and goes off to work for Wall Street.

Thoughts?
Comments?
 
What, exactly, is the definition of a mandate?

I think they may be in for an unpleasant surprise. :twocents:

Many of those GOP members of Congress were on the bandwagon snubbing Trump during his campaign, and he appears to have a long memory for such slights.

He has also promised things that were not on their agenda, like doing something about Student Loan debt, and providing a rational alternative to the ACA.

He has also been a lifelong Liberal in many areas (other than the business sector) and IMO gave lip service to many of the right-wing ideals touted during his campaign.

I'm willing to bet the honeymoon with the GOP Congress will last about as long as the honeymoon Obama had with his own Party his first term, before they corrupted his attempt at providing real affordable healthcare.

Time will tell. :coffeepap:

If this were the case, his cabinet selections would've looked much different.

All signs point to a slash-and-burn agenda that will gut everything from regulatory oversight of industry to Medicare itself.
 
When are both parties going to learn?

If you manage to pass bills that the other side absolutely despises (like the Reps despise Obamacare), when the other side gets the power - they will either kill it, or whittle it down to where it is near-useless.

The skill is to pass legislation that both sides can live with so that it will stand the test of time...otherwise it is pointless.
