The Democratic Hope
Many a talking head has opined about a "lack of a plan" from the national Democrats for the next two years. Well, let me put that to rest. Here's the plan:
  • We hope that there will be a quick (but reasonably timed) and orderly (with the help of the Iraqis) withdrawl from Iraq, and that the senseless killing and violence over there will stop.
  • We hope that healthcare will become more affordable for all Americans.
  • We hope that the budget gets balanced.
  • We hope that Americans can count on the federal government to ensure they are paid a living wage for a day's work.
  • We hope that an affordable, quality education becomes the norm.
  • We hope that our leaders take real and substantive action on climate change.
  • We hope that true immigration reform will come in the next two years, and all of our friends and their families that came here for a better life can stop hiding in the shadows of the economy, and enjoy their own piece of the American dream.
  • Most of, we hope that our government returns to governing with pragmatism and vision, not idealogy and dogma.
This, to me, sounds substantial, reasonable, and doable. How about you?

A post by Chicagoist was the inspiration for this post.
