And Jeff is right, twice. Dems have the majority, no matter how slim. If it's good for Democrats and good for America, they need no Republican votes to pass it - they only need the Rep votes to spread accountability for bad law. Of course all this is moot to the socialists on this board anyway - this democracy nonsense is just getting in the way of the rule-by-decree status they think they deserve. Oh wait - that sounds like - yup, give the SecTreas the POWER to hand out the money when & where he wants to! Good plan. Maybe ACORN can help - AGAIN - and make a list of properties for the Good Secretary. Oh hell, lets just let Johnson & Raines & Gorelick and Dodd etc. run it. They all have the requisite experience, right? And Barney, who had no idea he had a gay whorehouse running out of his basement, will be able to know all about everything and keep tabs it, and head off any more attempts by Rebubs or others to lift the cover on any of it going forward.
