A Dark Night

Saturday, November 21, 2009

In the dark of night during a rare Saturday vote, a number of moderate Democrat Senators sacrificed their principles tonight to support the partisan health care bill that Harry Reid created in secret behind closed doors -- a government-run health care plan that increases premiums, increases taxes, cuts Medicare, and allows for taxpayer-funded abortions.

Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) sold out his conscience
by voting for a bill that allows federally-funded abortions. 

Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) sold out her principles
by voting for a bill that allows a government-run insurance plan, something she previously said she opposed.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) simply sold her vote to the highest bidder
after Harry Reid added a $100 million earmark just for Louisiana.

I urge you to contact these Senators and tell them that by sacrificing their principles, they risk sacrificing your current health care. Call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121.  Together we can stop President... More

Take Action!

You would think that any government takeover of an entire industry would involve seasoned experts in that industry to ensure that it would be successful and profitable in the future. So who exactly was involved in Obama’s government takeover of GM? David Shepardson of The Detroit News tells the story:

The Obama administration's Team Auto -- a group of a dozen mostly young Wall Street veterans -- worked grueling hours even by Wall Street standards …

Initially, team members were working even before they had Treasury IDs or official clearance …

In Washington, many members of the Obama auto team lived in corporate housing within walking distance of the Treasury Department …

They had dinner at an Italian restaurant near the White House after Chrysler filed for bankruptcy in April, and headed to Bobby Van's, an upscale steak house, the evening

Is Sheriff Biden putting any of his time into searching for stimulus jobs? We ask because President Obama promised that the stimulus would help “poor and working” Americans, and instead, as Time Magazine reports, those funds aren’t going to areas that have been the hardest hit by the recession:

Miami's poorer residents have long complained that the city's meager public-transit system makes it harder for them to get to work. So when the Obama Administration announced the $787 billion stimulus plan earlier this year, many hoped some of that money would help fund plans like an expansion of Miami's undersized Metrorail system — especially a 10-mile northern extension that would reach into predominantly African-American and other minority communities largely cut off from downtown and other employment centers. But the project, in part because

Late Saturday night, Senate Democrats advanced the Obama-Reid government-run health care experiment with 60 votes exactly – just enough for Harry Reid to claim success. Unfortunately for Harry Reid, that was only the first in a series of Senate votes he’ll need to win in order to pass his bill.  As Politico reports, there are several “hidden land mines” ahead.

Democrats have been laying down markers left and right to advance their bargaining positions, and if any of them holds firm, the whole bill could fall apart.  You can learn more about Reid’s problems in this morning’s Research Briefing, “Math Is Hard.”
