The Democrats' "New Strategy"

The Democratic Plan That is Not Very Democratic

     Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if any party is "desperate", it's the Democrats. Trump's arrival and the new session of congress really have Democrats in a bind; being the minority party in both the executive and legislative branch of government is quite difficult. However, they seem to have a plan, and its not something anyone would have expected. Republicans in congress and Trump tend to disagree on bills and policies that don't lean too far into the right-wing conservative territory. When the Republican party in senate is forced to choose party alignment over Trumps wishes, that's when the Democrats swoop in for the votes. That's right, the Democrats' strategy is to vote in approval for Republican bills that the Republican party does not like, usually because the bill is actually rather moderate.

     The Republican party disagrees with Trump's positive views on topics such as spending more on roads, bridges, and rails, punishing American jobs that move overseas, and making paid maternity leave mandatory. You know what party supports these causes? Democrats. This alignment gives the Democratic party more immediate power in congress. This is a desperate attempt to win back white, working class voters who switched to the Republican party because of Trump. I see potential for a realignment of parties, spearheaded by the Democratic party themselves.

should college be free?

no one really wants to pay for anything. especially college because it is so expensive. well if everyone were to have free college it may have a negative effect on the economy. in new York they want to make public state colleges free for anyone who comes from a family who makes 125000$ or less. but for all the people who come from families who make more money will end up paying more than they would have paid if this does not go through. the budget they made did not take many things into account. if all these students start going to school there will be a lot more people and they will need to pay for more professors and other school supplies. new York is already more generous than most states in the first place. they are just taking the next step. if they could figure out how to set everything up so that everything will work out perfectly it could be the next step to making all college in America free. this is a very hard challenge to get the money to fund this though and is going to take a while to figure and we should not rush it. the government should figure out the best way to help everyone.
