Cap and trade is awful but to me bailing out the unions is far worse. Bust up the unions and the dems lose a big voting bloc and hence the ability to even consider something like cap and trade.

During the lameduck session, Nov to Jan, the Dems will still have majorities in both houses of congress. We're just hoping to have enough Republicans during that period to prevent a super-majority, and perhaps block some of their agenda.

Before we can actually roll back anything, we need majorities, preferably super-majorities in both houses. Hopefully we will have majorities in Jan 2011.
