PING!
This helpful summary of the Dems' early agenda, with comments by CATO members, is very useful. Thanks for posting it.
Gimme Gimme Gimme!!!!
the sc^%bags are "in charge" again. they have the POWUH!!! i wonder how long it will take them to be the ultra-arrogant sons-of-bit%^es that they are, were and always will be. you can see some of the local democrat sc^%bags strutting around like turkeys. (what a bunch of totalitarian, intolerant, arrogant swine)
Funny, seems like we have been in this "new direction" before. Well, in all fairness to the dems, I suppose reverse is a "new direction."

Very helpful indeed.
I've got to bookmark this and return to it sometime in the future. There should be a taxpayer's ombudsman associated with congress to give an official evaluation of the economic impact of legislation. Until then, partisan think tanks, conservative publications, and wacko Internet news discussion sites will have to do.
**The ethics part of this agenda evokes a limited sense of déjà vu. On their first day in power in 1995, the House Republicans cut House staff, changed budgeting rules, enacted term limits for their leadership, banned proxy voting in committee, opened committee hearings to the public, required a three-fifths vote to increase taxes, started a comprehensive audit of the House, and applied anti-discrimination and workplace safety rules to Congress itself. Later they passed additional disclosure requirements on lobbyists late in 1995. The Republicans also completely outlawed gifts to members of Congress or their staffs. **
Maybe Pelosi's fault was taking lessons. LOL!
Most excellent info!
What a great article.Too bad I missed having these points to dump on my Socialist Friends at my Superbowl Party. But what really matters is that I have them now, and can spread them around. LOL</P>
