re: #217 thedopefishlives

Honestly, I don’t see how the Republicans even stand a chance at this point. I mean, he addressed DIRECTLY everything that Americans have been complaining about for the last 6 years. Tax restructuring so the rich pay their fair share? Check. Going after the bankers who got us into this mess? Check. Tax penalties for offshoring? Check. New rules for Congresscritters to cut down on inefficiency and shady dealing? Mega-check. I don’t see how the Republicans can oppose any of those items and still have people voting for them. Well, aside from their own rich old white guy cronies.

Rationalising government, merging departments. Check.
Cutting 2trillion from the deficit. Check.
