Road to the Takeover III


At long last the Democrat plan to take back the House and Senate is unveiled. The fact it was released late on a Friday afternoon (Washington's favorite time to dump bad information) may say more about the Dem's faith in the plan than anything else.

Right form San Fran Nan's web site here are the bullet points of the Plan (and my comments in red):

MAKE HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE

Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMOs, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.

At least its not Hillary-care. Lets expand on the huge pill give away the Republicans have already saddled us with.

LOWER GAS PRICES AND ACHIEVE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Crack down on price gouging; eliminate billions in subsidies for oil and gas companies and use the savings to provide consumer relief and develop American alternatives, including biofuels; promote energy efficient technology.

Funny how the oil companies forgot how to gouge us when oil was $10 dollars a barrel. Notice what is not here: a plan for brining more energy on line, Like drilling in Alaska.

HELP WORKING FAMILIES
Raise the minimum wage; repeal tax giveaways that encourage companies to move jobs overseas.

CUT COLLEGE COSTS
Make college tuition deductible from taxes; expand Pell grants and cut student loan costs.

ENSURE DIGNIFIED RETIREMENT
Prevent the privatization of Social Security; expand savings incentives; ensure pension fairness.

No Social Security reform, just more of the same ponzi scheme. Harry and Nan will be long gone by the time it all flies apart.

REQUIRE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
Restore the budget discipline of the 1990s that helped eliminate deficits and spur record economic growth.

Who was running Congress during the 90s when we had all those surpluses?

The first time I read this I had the nagging suspicion I was missing something. What could it be? Hmm.. Oh I know.......

The War!!

Biofuels, pell grants and minimum wage, but not a single word on the biggest issue facing this nation. Was this even intended to be taken seriously?
