Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democratic Party want to take America in a new direction. After all the troops are moved in a new direction (eastward to Okinawa) they will address what's really wrong with America.
They want to:
1. Make healthcare more affordable by cracking down on insurance companies and HMO's.
Wonderful! It was Congress that created HMO's to address the problem of expensive health insurance. Congress will not make the situation better. Eventually the Democrats will say "We've got to have socialized medicine."
2. Lower gas prices by cracking down on price gouging and eliminating billions in subsidies.
More money, more money, more money! They love more money because they're smarter than everyone else and can spend it more wisely.
3. They will "help the American Family" by raising the minimum wage and repealing tax cuts. This will only serve to increase the unemployment rate. Young people will suffer most as employers are forced to cut back on staff. Tax cuts have stimulated the economy since the tech bubble burst and 9/11. Lower, not higher taxes, are the proven way to robust economy. This is the same old cheap pandering by a idea bereft political party. They cling to their lies because they have nothing new to offer.
4 and 5. Cut college costs and offer dignified retirement.
By offering these two "novel ideas" they can appeal to two voters groups. The young and naive and the old and insecure. Who will pay for this largesse. Working people, well those who aren't put out of work by items 1 through 3.
Item 6. Require Fiscal Responsibilty. Translation: Higher Taxes. "After all, sacrifices must be made."
Item 7. Provide for a secure America. Oh wait, my mistake. This item isn't in their list. Sorry, scratch that.
Mark Steyn has a crique of the Democrat Plan.

The Democrat's direction is pure Marxism, without a doubt. The Repubs direction is Socialist at best.
Where does a free man run to?
