Honestly i feel like the Democrats never took economics. Give them the tax cuts for a trade (Dream Act). We would in return make up for all and more of the tax break the rich comprise of. I feel like were the Democrats only leverage and their not very good at using us to get their agenda passed what so ever. BTW the Republicans know starting Jan 3rd they own capital hill. The president is just a spokes person, its the senate and house that run the country and the Republicans would love nothing more then to say the Democrats liberal agenda has farther ruined our great nation because they don't want to compromise.
