And there are many others more minor. In areas such as
* Stem cell research
* Drug companies gouging Medicare and everyone else. Enable Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies, for example. A forbidden activity under current "administration" policy.
* Hearings to learn about Iraq decisions, policy and especially (this is the good part) "administration" decisions and contracts and relationships with contractors.
* Eliminate current "administration" policies that encourage US companies to move jobs overseas.
* Minimum wage increase (full time employment at the federal minimum wage gets you about $900 per month in earnings before taxes. I'd like to hear from folks who live in a part of this nation where rent, heat, lights, and transportation can be found for this price. No, the typical minimum wage workers does NOT live at home with his parents.)
Et Cetera.........

Just what Oil Company breaks are we talking about? Examples?
Stem cell research will not happen while Bush is President. He will Veto that and there will be not enough votes to over-ride.
Again, can I see examples of Drug companies gouging medicare and how the Bush administration caused it?
And tell, me which specific policies passed by Bush encourage campanies to move overseas and what you would specifically like done to fix it.
