I don't know, this list sounds a little too right wing for me. :-)
Here's a challenge- what are the good things that will come out of the
Republicans owning the government for four years? Anyone can come up
with a litany of bad things, I challenge people to list the pros as
well. I'll start:
An actual chance of litigation reform for the medical and possibly
other industries.
Sure- it will largely benefit big businesses and the rich at first
because those are the lawsuits they'll target, but I do agree that
litigation has become way too rampant and core to our society in all
strata in a way that's dragging us all down. Starting to pull away from
that, implementing real consequences for frivolous laws suits etc.,
could be worth quite a bit.
