Mostly, however, last year's Congress will be remembered for two efforts that will damage the economy for years to come: government health care "reform" and the $787 billion stimulus plan.The twin disasters of government health care "reform" and the "stimulus" tend to blot out some of the other sins of last year's congressional session, but here are 11 more reasons to remember this Congress less than fondly:
Failing to protect the public from terrorism by punting the reauthorization of the Patriot Act until next year.
Gee...did that send a message, I wonder?
Boosting funds for international "family planning" (i.e. lots of abortions) by $100 million after President Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy.
Hurting D.C. children by suffocating the District's Voucher program, which is slowly dying as no more students are allowed to join.
and so on
This Congress will go down in history for the damage it has done to America with wild deficit spending and the takeover of one seventh of the U.S. economy. Unless and until the Democratic majority is overthrown, these disastrous policies will prove to be only the beginning of the perfidy on Capitol Hill.
