With majorities in both houses, congressional Republicans under the leadership of House Speaker Paul Ryan have signaled their plans to disassemble not just the Affordable Care Act, but also Medicaid and Medicare; to steer federal education policy away from public schools and toward charters and vouchers; to roll back voting rights and civil rights enforcement; and to make steep cuts to nutritional programs. And, despite the fact that many of these changes could have negative consequences for Trump's base, the president-elect hasn't signaled any resistance.
But before the GOP sets about the work of dismantling Lyndon Johnson's legacy, it's helpful to look back 50 years and consider what America looked like before the Great Society. Spoiler alert: Much of it wasn't great.

They're also most likely going to cut funds to NASA's Earth Sciences division which studies, among other things, global warming.  :mad:

  It has been said that for a drug addict and an alcoholic, they have to reach the bottom before they can change their way of life. :yes:

  Well, maybe the people who think the Republicans have all of the right thinking.  :dizzy2: :mask: :007:

  Maybe we need another depression, Hoover style, and the lost of doing what is right for America, just maybe we need some bad times.   :mad: :mad: :rant:  The Republicans are surly working on it now.  :groan:
