INTRO
The first 100 days of a new Congress
or a new Presidency have become a standard by which the public
can step back, take stock, and examine the effectiveness of a
new crop of leaders. The following report takes a look at Democrats
overall record of failure in the first 100 days of the 110th
Congress and the fate of their stalled Six for 06
agenda. Consider these facts:
- The failed Six for 06
agenda has not seen one bill sent to the Presidents desk.
- Democrats have articulated no
long-term agenda or vision for America.
- American troops in harms
way lack resources to fight the Global War on Terror.
- The largest tax increase in
history looms over middle class families.
- Democrats voted to raise drug
prices and limit drug choices for seniors, and have ignored the
millions of Americans who lack health coverage.
- America remains woefully dependent
on hostile governments for energy supplies.
- The coming fiscal tsunami of
Social Security has been completely ignored.
- Spending is up, and millions
of dollars in special-interest earmarks continue to be added
to legislation.
- And in the words of one publication,
Democrats have lost control of the House floor at
least once.
Does this sound like the
record of a party determined to lead?
In many ways, the new
Democratic majority has simply picked up where the old Democratic
majority left off. As we will demonstrate in the following pages,
Republicans will continue to lead when and where Democrats do
not.
