Yellow Dog

I guess it shouldn't be surprising (to the half of the country that is sane, that is) that the Democrats have gotten more done for the American people in their first 100 hours in office than the Republicans have in the past six years:

Here's a list of the Democrats' accomplishments thus far:
--passing all of the 9/11 commission recommendations and forcing more homeland security measures
--adopting new ethics rules (Repugs are trying to sink this ethics legislation, which affects a lot of their cronies)
--passing bills raising the minimum wage
--expanding taxpayer financed research into embryonic stem cells
--directing the federal government to negotiate for cheaper Medicare prescription drugs
--lowering interest rates on subsidized student loans
--passing an energy bill that recoups billions of dollars in lost royalties from oil and gas companies and rolls back industry tax breaks

Recent polls show that a majority of Americans favor the above legislative agenda and are waking up to the fact that it's the Democrats who have their best interests in mind. Here's hoping that beyond these first 100 hours, there are a lot more hours of sane leadership in the days and years ahead.
