I dont think Ive ever seen in my lifetime a federal government less representative of the wants of the American people. 62% of the public wants an end to oil & gas subsides. 72% want the minimum wage raised to at least $10.10 an hour. 68% support a path to citizenship for undocumented workers. 83% support lowering student loan interest to 3.4% or lower. The Buffett rule - a minimum 30% tax rate for millionaires is supported by 71% of Americans. And a whopping 92% of voters support background checks for ALL gun purchases. And yet on every single one of these issues, bills to address it were introduced by democrats and blocked by republican filibusters in the Senate and of course were never even allowed to come up for a vote by John Boehner in the House asylum. All this and yet what do the few voters who voted in November give us? More republicans in both the Senate and the House. The American voter is the very definition of cognitive dissonance. Enjoy this next two years of cesspool swimming. You voted for it.
