Yellow Dog

A recent AP-Ipsos poll found that 51 percent of Americans say they want Democrats rather than Republicans to control Congress. Only 34 percent favor Republican control.

Sentiment is favoring Democratic control of Congress (although Republican gerrymandering and redistricting may make this a tough road to hoe), but what is the plan should Dems regain control?

"Their leaders said a Democratic House would quickly vote to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 1997. It would roll back a provision in the Republicans' Medicare prescription drug benefit that prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from negotiating prices for drugs offered under the program. It would vote to fully implement the recommendations of the bipartisan panel convened to shore up homeland security after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Democratic leaders said. And it would reinstate lapsed rules that say any tax cuts or spending increases have to be offset by spending cuts or tax increases to prevent the federal deficit from growing.

Sounds like a good start. Now just add in a plan for getting us out of the Iraq war debacle, and we're good to go.
