Boy I can't wait for Congress to do even less work.
Well I guess we can look at the bright side of a republicant controlled government.
Our economy will grow
Yeah that's about it. Just that at the expense of social issues, people suffering from muh bootstraps, more endless wars, and the rich getting richer.

This is why they won, more people are concerned about the economy right now.

I wouldn't say they have the mindset of growing the economy when people lost jobs over a government shut down from them acting like children.
Then again, the senate race in Mississippi showed me the purest example of how some republicans are idiots.
Snip

How will the economy grow? How? Seriously, can you give me an outline or a summary of how Republican control will cause economic growth?
Hint: you can't show any reason behind what you said because there is no reason behind it. Republicans have historically done absolutely nothing to increase economic growth. They have also done nothing to increase income equality. In fact, Republicans have usually presided over eras in which both of these factors decline (I'm not claiming that they cause this btw). This meme of "Republicans are better with money!" is totally false and usually also damaging.
Part of me feels like a president should be a one term, eight year deal, so they don't spend their first term doing nothing but campaigning for the second.

Obama didn't do this though.
Can you name me a president that has ever done this?
Hopefully they'll remove the mandatory requirement to sign up for healthcare, and figure out a way of decreasing prices for the bill. Forcing people to spend thousands of dollars on healthcare without a choice of refusing it is stupid, and that proverbial lack of choice leads to increased prices. Not to mention that they need to make it illegal to reduce hours to prevent healthcare.
But strong-arming the world right now when the economy is recovering isn't smart, not to mention that repeating the Iraq War would be stupid.

"Forcing people to spend thousands of dollars on public education without a choice of refusing it is stupid."
[QUOTE=Explosions;46425675]"Forcing people to spend thousands of dollars on public education without a choice of refusing it is stupid."[/QUOTE]
And notice how many people are upset with the poor quality of the public school system and want reform. People don't like being required to spend lots of money on a broken system.
[QUOTE=Explosions;46425675]"Forcing people to spend thousands of dollars on public education without a choice of refusing it is stupid."[/QUOTE]
But you do have the choice to refuse public education... and go to a private or homeschooling.
So long as they take away mandatory healthcare, address immigration reforms, and put down what they are going to do about the economy then I say good on them.

Yeah but you still have to pay for other people's public education.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46425752]maybe rather than scrapping the whole idea altogether we should be working to fix it then
if literally any other developed country worth its salt can have a functioning universal healthcare system, why cant we?[/QUOTE]
Because every time we try, the opposing party undermines it to the point that it either dies in it's cradle or explodes on launch.
It's not just an Obamacare thing. Nixon and Reagan tried their own Public Health initiatives, but the Democrats broadsided those as wasteful or unneeded.
[QUOTE=amute;46423655]Boy I can't wait for Congress to do even less work.[/QUOTE]
Literally impossible. Besides, now that the GOP has a majority in both houses, they can actually [B][I]work together[/I][/B] and pass bills. Then it's up to Obama.

That's the point, they take positions where government intervention in the economy is low unless where neccessary
The thing is that with democrats, they do too much to increase economic growth and only end up disrupting it
