A New Era

Well its official, the US has its first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. as the US Congress began its 110th session yesterday

Let's see if she and the new democratically controlled house can put they money where their mouths are, and actually do some of the things they said they were. She wants both party's to play nice and work together, I wish that would happen, but I am a realist. Its all nice to say in while the cameras are on, but once the door's get shut, I am sure the backstabbing will begin.

Some of the items on the democratic agenda:
  • Increased minimum wage
  • Medicare Drug Plan and Stem Cell Research
  • Retirement Security
  • Energy
  • Education Loans
  • 9/11 Recommendations

The democrats have their chance, if not, then let's toss them out in two years
