2010 Mid Term Election - Board

RCP: Has a look at the House and the 100 House seats that could decide if the Democrats or Republicans are in charge in 2011. As stated it is till April, thus the Democrats have time to sell HCR, but the top issue for the US voter is jobs, the level of unemployment still stands at 9.7%, in some states we are talking of double figures, this does not count those that have just give up. Lets recall that all the Obama spending, aka the New Deal has not created jobs but kept the boat level, it should be noted that the New Deal didn't work either, the US economy was turned around due to Word War Two. Also it has to be asked did the vast spending of LBJ really help African - Americans and other ethnic groups, at present African - Americans as a group have been hard hit by the economic downturn, also on the civic side we have seen the breakdown of the African - American family and more US Blacks are in US prisons than any other ethnic group. Thus so the question has to be asked what has the Democratic Party ever done for African - Americans, it has it can be argued created a welfare dependent structure, the aims of the Great Society might have been noble but the results are a matter of debate. As the Gipper stated he was trying to repeal the damage of the Great Society.
