They would probably push for the cut in corporate tax rate, while eliminating loop-holes and subsidies. They have proposed that on multiple occations, but GOP has rejected it every time.

Lord I hope neither party gets both houses. I hate to say it, but I think America is better off when they're doing nothing. I like the current stalemate. No stupid gun laws, abortion laws, religious based laws, bans on soft drinks, anti gay laws, and any other retarded legislating of personal/private freedoms. That way they will agree on the basics, and there's a check and balance in place to stop either party from drifting off on one of their crazy brain farts. I believe that the Liberals and Republican on this board both say the most dumbest illogical crap that I ever heard in my life.

Once responsible people get into control of the House, legislate to make State Congressional Districts reflect population equally, a Federal Law. AKA, allow for a House that represents the people of their States. Start work on also making that a Constitutional Amendment. The Senate works reasonably well except for filibuster rules.

Spoken as a true liberal.

"Compromise", in the mind of a liberal, means, "shut up and do what I say and want"!

Well, the Repubs are well on the way to making the Dems control everything for the next few decades.

Both parties are like that, but Republicans much more of a drama queenish about it...

Yea I know, but they are too full of themselves to see what's right in front of them.. I wish they'd stopped being complete self destructing idiots because I really fear all the intrusive "Government knows best" laws that the Dems will come up with.. We'll no longer be called the United States if the Dems control everything... We'll just be call the California Republic...

They would become absolutely tyrannical, because that is the direction they have shown they are headed.

It was the intention of the founders so, you are probably correct.
