Pigs of Time

The Democratic Party has recaptured control of Congress after twelve years of treading time. They arrived at this moment mainly because George W Bush lost a war most people have come to believe should have never been fought. The Democrats should be mindful of what Shakespeare once said "Tis more by fortune than by merit".
The long anticipated first 100 hours of the Democratic led 110th Congress is now officially underway. The Democrats have already cleaned up Congress, ending the link between lobbyist and legislation. They have committed to pay as you go, no new deficit spending. They have implemented the recommendations of the bipartisan 9/11 commission. They have raised the minimum wage. They will fix the Medicare presciption drug program by negotiating lower drug prices. They will broaden college opportunity, cutting interest rates on student loans in half. They will cut subsidies for Big Oil. They will fight any attempt to privatize Social Security. The Democrats have introduced all this legislation on the first day of Congress and will pass it within the first 100 hours. They have pledged to restore America's faith in the future with a new direction for America.
The Democrats are treating their agenda for change as if it were a gallon of milk with an expiration date. If the milk spoils, the hour glass will be returned to the position it has been for the last twelve years and once again all the rich fat pigs will push the poor skinny pigs away from the feed bucket.
