I wrote that last before I saw the news, and also got a key fact wrong. Thank heavens!
That totalitarian credit bill hasn't passed the senate. Apparently it just came out of some committee. And that was enough to make Dudd weep? What a jerk.
So there's still a chance it will fail. (O happy day! O happy day!)
On top of that, WV Senator Robert Byrd had the good grace to pass away last night, so it's doubtful that there will be enough votes in the senate to completely destroy whatever remains of free enterprise in the financial industry.
The one good thing about Byrd is that he was ferociously loyal to West Virginia, and West Virginia produces lots and lots of coal. So Byrd might have offered some powerful opposition to crap-n-tax.
Other than that, sorry to say, I can't be unhappy when a dem dies. Whatever it takes to get them out of office.
Save the republic.
