Comparing GOP priorities with the priority of the people of the US

The NBC/WSJ poll found that the American public had these priorities for the new Congress (in order):

1.   Access to lower cost student loans–80% support.
2.   Increase spending on infrastructure–75%
3.   Raising the minimum wage–65%
4.   Emergency funding for fighting Ebola in Africa–60%
5.   Addressing climate change/reducing carbon emissions–59%
6.   Building Keystone Pipeline–54%

The GOP, which will control both houses of Congress, has listed its own priorities:

1.   Authorize Keystone Pipeline.
2.   Repeal ACA (“Obamacare”)
3.   Pass the “Hire More Heroes” (veterans) Act.
4.   Pass Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement with Asia.
5.   Lower corporate taxes.
6.   Thwarting Obama on Immigration Executive Action.
7.   Reign in the EPA and roll back environmental regulations.

Elections have consequences, and not voting is a dumb choice.
