OK so What! Democrats won the Nov. 7 election by promising “change.” If that’s the case, voters have been hoodwinked again! Where is this “change that we have been hearing about” that we have been promised?

Democrats are badly divided on the Iraq war. Some Congressmen wants to “redeploy our troops to Okinawa,” the anti-war wing wants our entire troops home immediately and moderates want a slower redeployment of our troops.

No change is discernible so far.

Democrats have dragged their feet on giving our intelligence experts reasonable leeway in monitoring communications between foreign and U.S. terrorist suspects. They are still dragging their feet, so where’s the change? The immigration issue will not receive further attention, but this was an issue to help get the party in power.

Fixing Social Security and Medicare are two huge problems which President Bush has urged Congress to fix but the Democrats say “No way!”

Democrats say they support greater cooperation between the parties but there is very little evidence of such a change.

The best Democrats can come up with for change is increasing taxes which would hurt the economy further. Fortunately, Bush can veto any tax increase legislation but will he. Democrats hold a very slim margin of power, 51 percent in the Senate and 53.5 percent in the House.

Controversial issues in the Senate require 60 votes for passage, which means “deadlock” this will be the name of the game for the next two years.

Our economy is not in the best shape as it was in past years, unemployment at 5.4 percent, take home pay has increased a dollar but what good does it do when you can’t even save any money, gasoline at about $2.45 per gallon, Taxes up, and Let’s hope the Democrats don’t screw it up further.
