After spending 8 months in court, and spending millions of dollars, Al Franken has finally won his bid for a place in the US Senate. But, what do we have to look forward to?
An unnamed senator was heard to say, "We have 60 democrats now, let's just push our agenda through the senate and ignore what the republicans have to say."
To be totally honest, the democrats only actually have 58 votes on any day, since Senator Byrd and Senator Kennedy only show up for major votes.
In my opinion, if the democrats try to push legislation through without giving the republicans any say so, then they are leaving 50% of the american people without a say so, and there could be dire consequences for this country.
I am of the feeling that politics has become more of a "We're going to do it our way," instead of "Let's work together."
So now that the democrats have their 60 votes, are they going to raise taxes on the businesses that make our country so strong? Or will they take a vital healthcare industry and make it no better than a second world system?
Are the liberals so enamoured of collectivism that they have forgotten what our founding fathers fought to bring into being? Namely, a country where a person who works hard, can make money and leave his children more than what he had.
Personally, I'd rather have a 50% balance in the house and senate, just so that they have to work together.
