We are still under the Bush tax plan that is heavily benefiting the upper income people which is still not helping. The only thing that has helped with jobs has been the Obama Stimulus. A new tax plan option to be presented Monday. May help.
How about the 2010 elections AFTER the dems controlled ALL 3 branches?
Wasn't that the biggest turn of of power countrywide in history?

Democrats Step Up Moves to Limit Senate Filibusters
Quote:
When Democrats awoke the day after the 2008 election to overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate, plus control of the White House, many imagined they would be able to accomplish nearly anything they wanted. It seemed possible that Congress would finish health care reform within a year, including a strong "public option" plan. A climate bill would sail through, along with immigration reform, the pro-union Employee Free Choice Act and an end to the ban on non-closeted gays in the military.
What happened to those Democratic hopes? They have been shattered by the Republicans' unprecedented reliance on the filibuster, a legislative maneuver that can slam the brakes on even popular legislation.
