Are we as a country better off now that we were before the Republicans took over? A long poorly decisioned war, a recession (8 straight months of job losses meets the criteria) the largest deficit in U.S. history, extraordinary health care cost increases, inflation with an actual reduction in middle-class family incomes, abuses of civil liberties, etc.
Isn't the classic definition of insanity doing the same things the same way and expecting different results?
I believe its time to give the other party a chance and see if they have learned enough from being out of power to actually do things that benefit us and our country.
