Joni Ernst-too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies

Here are all the new ideas she proposed

1) One you've probably heard about is the Keystone jobs bill
Yes, the old chestnut idea of a pipeline.

2) Let's tear down trade barriers in places like Europe and the Pacific.
Yes, free trade will create you a job just like it has for the last 30 years.

3) So let's iron out loopholes to lower rates
low taxes

4) Let's simplify America's outdated and loophole-ridden tax code. Republicans think tax filing should be easier for you
Correction, low taxes for the rich, because rich people got the same types of income as you... right?

5) "We must also honor America's veterans.
Yes, we can honor them but we can't spend more money on them.

6)We'll also keep fighting to repeal and replace a health care law that's hurt so many hardworking families.
We'll replace it with... well you don't get sick often do you?

7)We'll work to correct executive overreach.
I won't give you a single example of this so it should be easy to fix once you know who leaves office.

8)We'll propose ideas that aim to cut wasteful spending and balance the budget
I told you the veterans weren't getting any money.

9)We'll advance solutions to prevent the kind of cyberattacks we've seen recently.
Recently, ah the information age is like 25+years old. Where have you been?

10)We'll work to confront Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Can't we just have McCain sing Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran again

11) "And we'll defend life, because protecting our most vulnerable is an important measure of any society.
So if your a woman that wants health care pretty much expect a double screw you coming your way.

There you go the new ideas of the Republican party, tax cuts for the rich, bomb Iran, cuts to social spending, an oil pipeline, no healthcare, and they still hate Obama. Wow I was worried they'd respond to the state of the union with "the same stale mindset that led to failed policies"

you/we have that is positive came from either Democrats or liberals, and the other side has done nothing but try to take those things away.

Almost half of this country votes against their own ability to breathe and eat, every time.

Amazing, isnt it.
