Dems finally read bills - Solidarity fades

The Menendez rebellion was a jolt of political reality for Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Obama, signaling that the solidarity of the stimulus debate is fading as Democratic lawmakers are starting to read the fine print of the bills they will wrestle with in the coming weeks and months, and not always liking what they see.

Reading the bill before voting on it? This novel concept must be nipped in the bud as nothing good can come from it.



Other issues causing consternation - Medicare means testing, farm subsidies and an end of federal support for private education loans. I think the President may be in for a bruising summer.
