Abuse of Power
“The misuse of the arcane process of reconciliation—a process intended for deficit reduction—to enact substantive policy changes is an undemocratic disservice to our people and to the Senate’s institutional role,” Democratic Senator – Robert Byrd
Wall Street Journal has an opinion column up this morning talking about the use of reconcilliation to ram thru an epic bill that will put our grandchildren even further into debt. I don’t normally like to pull polictical stuff into my blog, because there are much more informed folks than I weighing in on both sides of issues that are important to me. However, this article is spot on, in my opinion. I don’t care which side of the political spectrum you find yourself on, this sort of political arrogance against the overwhelming majority of the American people is nothing short of abuse of power! I would say the same regardless of Republican or Democrat control.
