He’s Right

Sorry for the short diary, but I’m surprised no one posted on this:

“Capuano took to the microphone, looked out at his colleagues and condensed what he’d learned into two words. “You’re screwed,” he told his friends in the House, according to one attendee. The room’s silence was broken only by soft, nervous laughter.”

      Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), chairman of the Education and Labor Committee, told reporters Tuesday that short-term extensions of unemployment and COBRA will be attached to the defense bill.

      In effect, that requires members of Congress to back a war they oppose in order to get funding for jobs, a bargain many are loath to make, but one they’ve made over and over since Democrats rook control of Congress following the 2006 midterm elections — which were decided largely by voters fed up with the war in Iraq.

      I suppose all sorts of lawmaking wizardry went into creating that situation, but I really don’t care. That outcome is retarded. Making unemployment extension dependent on funding the war? Will the Democrats stop producing idiocies like that and do something useful with their majority?  

  3. Jim C. I, too, thought BMG-ers would be all over this. Can’t recall a more blunt statement from a member of the Mass. delegation is years. My post is here.
