With the GOP formally taking control of Congress today following victories in November’s midterm elections, House and Senate Republicans are in a strong position to push their legislative agenda. Here’s a look at their top priorities:



Decreasing government’s role in what is left of education
Overturning landmark compromises, concessions, and accommodations of Obama legacy
Following through with their unique interpretation of improving women’s health care
Spurring job growth by creating thousands of new jobs investigating Benghazi
Putting an end to old era of congressional gridlock, dysfunction, and wastefulness; beginning new era of congressional paralysis, failure, and squandering
Getting all objectionable comments out of party members’ systems right now so as not to be remembered by 2016
Pretty much just picking up right where they left off last term
Trying to identify some kind of tangible Democratic achievement on gun control to undo
Aiming high for a steady congressional approval rating of 16 percent
After all political goals achieved, governing

anybody hear of ANYTHING on the Repugs hit list that actually helps jobs, the economy, Human-Americans, the environment?

my big fear is that some nominally Dem Senators will vote with Repugs to overturn Obama's numerous vetoes.
