Sooo...not since 1928 have the GOP had such a wide majority in the House, eh?

[Roland99]

Anyone know (or even remember) what happened the following year and the few years after that??


Odds on history repeating itself??

1. It's probably on its way back, generally where republicans take an economy, downhill. So many

Americans are just so fucken stupid.

[zappaman]

2. Yup!

3. Well, the stock market crash of 1929 had some impact on what happened next

and we don't want a repeat of that.

I think the better analogy is 1994. The GOPers, led by Newt Gingrich, took control; predictably overreached, and crashed and burned a few years later. We all remember what happened to Newt; let's hope Ted Cruz shares the same fate.

4. The difference is that we still have a Democrat in the White House and

have a good shot at replacing him with another Democrat in 2016. I don't see another depression coming as long as we can hold the White House.

5. Meh...

Where there's a will, there's a way.

It just depends on how far they will go to try and force their failed ideology on everyone else. Historically speaking, they are quite willing to burn the country to the ground just to prove that "liberal" policies hurt the country. I'm not sure how that works logically, but the media seems more than happy enough to give them more than enough rope to hang us all.

8. Not like this particular Democrat in the White House has held Wall Street's feet to the fire, though

6. I heard on CBS news this morning , that they haven't had Majority since WW2.

I spit out my coffee, now they want us to think that the GOP won WW2.

[bemildred]

7. You may well be right. nt

[HereSince1628]

9. Does that make us 2 or 6 years away from an FDR Dem as POTUS????????

[TheGunslinger]

10. Or perhaps in female form (Warren)??

Hillary certainly wouldn't be another FDR or any kind of progressive savior.

We need to swing that pendulum back well past center!
