I ran out of quarter hour stations so I thought I'd add one this evening. 

The USA needs to rid itself of corruption. The $1.1 trillion US is just the beginning of two years of nothing but corruption. That is a requirement to be a Republican. They deal in ideology and not reality. It is easy for voters to curl up with unreality and prejudice created for their benefit such as women's rights, privacy for women, fair pay and minimum wage and don't leave out the climate crisis. 

The next two years will be full of surprises and side steps by the Republicans in the House and Senate as they create distractions such as the presidential executive order that will lead to impeachment proceedings.

It will be quite a show as the Republicans display their inability to put forward the extremist agenda without a sympathetic president in the White House.

I liked Reagan as a president. That has changed over the years because he really wasn't about the average American and certainly cared little about the future of Earth and it's children. Reagan did this country a great deal of harm and began the slow retreat of the Middle Class into poverty. Bush simply decorated the GOP Cake in 2008 after it was fully baked.

The messages by the Democrats is always counter intuitive to the so called common sense statement by the Republicans. It isn't as though the Democrats are arrogant, they are after all interested in governance to benefit those that do not have the focus of government. 

The counter intuitive position of Democrats is developed over time and through research. If one looks to the beginning of the health care law there is a lot of research that went into it before it was passed into law. That is only one example.

I might point out, the Republicans that justify the Bush Administration and torture have NO valid research that proves the extreme torture techniques actually bring about results. Most of the information Republicans call up as proof of the success of torture was already known by other countries long before the USA employed torture. The information was not gotten through torture in other countries either, doing so makes any information skeptical at best.
