Confident Democrats Lay Out Agenda.



Source: Washington Post

It looks like the party that was knocked out and had no vision has a new lease on life and a fresh plan on how to fix this mess if they take back Congress in November.

It's been a very long time since we could utter the words "plan" and "Democrat" in the same sentence.

I'm very impressed.

To counter that perception, House Democrats have formulated a plan of action for their first week in control. Their leaders said a Democratic House would quickly vote to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 1997. It would roll back a provision in the Republicans' Medicare prescription drug benefit that prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from negotiating prices for drugs offered under the program.

It would vote to fully implement the recommendations of the bipartisan panel convened to shore up homeland security after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Democratic leaders said.

And it would reinstate lapsed rules that say any tax cuts or spending increases have to be offset by spending cuts or tax increases to prevent the federal deficit from growing.


Go Dems, ride the tidal wave of change and dissent all the way to D.C. and Congress!
