Those Democrats and their old policies…

I’d like to begin this rant with a quote from Iowa Republican Party spokeswoman Sarah Sauber:

“Voters are looking for fresh, new ideas to bring change rather than the old policies you get from Democrats”

What? The last time America got any significant policies from Democrats, the country was peaceful, prosperous, and had a balanced budget.

Speaking of old policies, though, there’s an interesting piece in Wednesday’s Washington Post. The World Economic Forum has dropped America’s economic competitive ranking from 1 to 6. Business taxes are at their lowest level in decades, regulations of just about everything have been rolled back, “frivolous” lawsuits have been reigned in, and pensions have gone out the window - everything Republicans have been pushing for has been done, and it ain’t working.
So there.

By the way, early voting began in Iowa Thursday, and Democrats - wait for it - are in the lead. The Des Moines Register reports that, as of Wednesday, Republicans trailed Democrats 11,000 to 50,000 in absentee ballots requested.
