Clearing the Browser Tabs – Mean Democrats Who Hate Jobs Wednesday Edition
Last night, President Obama’s jobs bill went down to defeat thanks to a bipartisan group of mostly Republicans and a couple Democrats. I don’t doubt they saved us from calamity. There is nothing at all in the President’s plan that will create jobs for anyone but overpaid bureaucrats and rich union organizations.
The administration certainly tried hard to get the President’s bill passed. He even sent out a memo that promised endless campaign trash-talk if the Senate didn’t bow to his will (via memeorandum). I don’t imagine he could have done anything else. Barack Obama does appear to be the archetype of the 60s radical in power whose only real weapons are hectoring speeches and displays of brute power.
The Democrats have been scrambling for unity in the face of yet another horrible progressive economic plan, but it’s not going to help them. The defections have begun and there will be more before next year’s election. What I want to know is what bad names President Obama will call them.

There are technical obstacles to mining titanium on the moon, but they’re pretty straightforward. There are economic obstacles, which are challenging, but arguably achievable. And there are regulatory obstacles, which are currently insurmountable.
Insert your own viewpoint, on whether starting a new kind of business should begin with getting laws passed.
