Here is why I say it makes no difference who has the power. Why didn't the Repubs propose 6 trillion in cuts when they controlled the House,Senate,and Presidency? Instead they: broke all spending records,started 2 wars,gave tax cuts to the weathiest Americans,signed the first Wall St. bailout bill,and privatized Medicare Part D. Now the Dems come into power and what do they do? break the existing spending records,keep us fighting 2 failed wars,keep the tax cuts for the rich,bailout Wall St. and on and on. I see no difference in the 2 parties....they pretend to argue,but it's all show. They are all the same,bought and paid for by corporate America and a few other special interest groups.
