So what can we expect from these guys?

They have said they want to raise the minimum wage
All indications are John Bolton will lose his job

What else?
Will we see a move on climate change and curbing pollution?
How about supporting the UN and Belgium in their call to ban cluster bombs?

    yeah, well war doesn't pay for itself.

    of course, we were told that it would. what's up with that?

    Cuts in wasteful bureaucracy would be much better than goverment sanctions larceny.

    Cuts in wasteful bureaucracy and elimination of pork barrel projects should absolutely come first, but I think it's going to take more than that.

    agreed. how about taking away the HUGE tax breaks from oil companies? i mean they are posting record profits, so they aren't exactly starving.

    It may take more than that, that may be all that is needed. We aren't aware of the extreme amount of waste and duplication within our government.
