14. Perhaps the OP

had hope that when Dems regained power there would be much needed change for the better. I had a bit of that myself forgetting the stranglehold corporations have on our govt. I am not ready to give up but I admit to some disappointment in our House and Senate, esp the Senate. It has been too long since we had this advantage and I had forgotten reality.
