In reply to the discussion: What remains unchanged or has worsened under Obama? [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)151. There is hope of rescue, but that will require the Teahadists not owning
the taxation and spending power in the House of Representatives.
It'll require immigration reform.
It'll require investment in infrastructure.
It'll require an economic policy built on creating the jobs of the future.
It'll require action on climate change.
Now, of course none of that is guaranteed the next time the Democrats control Congress. But there is absolutely zero hope of that while the House is controlled by a bunch of white nationalist psychopaths.
