Every morning a fellow from the Politico does a segment on MSNBC The Morning Joe. He has been predicting that Obama will push for some sort of green energy bill in the Senate this summer, but probably not Cap and Trade since he can’t get that passed in the Senate. Then after the election in the lame duck session he will talk the democrats in the house into passing the Senate Energy bill just like they did with Obama-care. The final bill will have hidden taxes in regulations and even more deficit spending.
That gives Obama three passed reforms to use in 2012 re-election campaign , Obama-care, Banking reform (they assume that will pass) and Energy.
Obama-care is unpopular now but the democrat theory is that Republicans will not be unified in how to attack or repeal it in 2012 when more of the benefits kick in.
” That gives Obama three passed reforms to use in 2012 re-election campaign , Obama-care, Banking reform (they assume that will pass) and Energy.”
All three designed to
1) Destroy the American economy, and with it, the middle class. You can’t take over a country with a strong middle class.
2) Put all of industry under the thumb of the federal government.
Right. The last I heard, Dodd's banking bill is still being hammered out in conference, has yet to see a final vote. And we seriously need to repeal socialized medicine; we haven't forgotten. So, there is nothing lasting from this regime. The sooner it is over, the better.
