The House leaders are even more open about their political machinations. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Democrats early this week she refuses to bring any plan to the floor unless a majority of the minority support it. The brazen refusal to offer any political leadership is stunning. Pelosi told the Wall Street Journal: “We are not taking ownership of this.”
The left’s complete abdication of legislative responsibility would not be so galling if lawmakers also were not insisting on larding up Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s plan with unnecessary government interference in the market. The left is still pushing for expanded government power to rewrite mortgage contracts and diverting taxpayer revenue from the sale of distressed assets into a housing slush fund. At least Warren Buffet still has faith Congress will eventually do the right thing. He told the Wall Street Journal : “I really do think Congress will do the right thing, when it’s terribly important, and they will do it fast. They will haggle but they have the national interest at heart.” Let’s hope he’s right..
We want a clean bill please.
