More: Democrats and the Obama administration are considering bypassing normal legislative practice to jam through health care and cap and trade without debate or bipartisan input. Hugh Hewitt. WaPo:
Republicans are howling about the proposal to expand health coverage and tax greenhouse gas emissions without their input, warning that it could irrevocably damage relations with the new president.
"That would be the Chicago approach to governing: Strong-arm it through," said Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), who briefly considered joining the Obama administration as commerce secretary. "You're talking about the exact opposite of bipartisan. You're talking about running over the minority, putting them in cement and throwing them in the Chicago River."
As far as the cost of cap and trade? When pressed, the administration doubled to tripled its forecast--which will be passed on to us in our utility bills, and that will have a ripple effect in the entire economy.
