That would have been hugely popular with the public and should never have been put off. Party of why we lost control of the house is because things like that were not done as soon as the voters gave Dems all the power they needed to start fixing these enormous problems.
And don't bother making excuses. We were told in 2006 'we can't do (insert whatever issue) until we win it all. So we did that, then all got were excuses. So what incentive is there NOW to do it all over again, only to be to told 'we need MORE power'. How much more power is there than winning the WH, Congress and the Senate? If Republicans got that power, do you think they would make a single excuse for not getting their agenda in place right off the bat?
What a terrible missed opportunity to deal a blow to the Corporations who have clearly taken over this country.
