Constitution......smonstitution. The people don't matter, what the elite says, matters. THAT's how important this is to the hard core left. Ends justify the means...so close to sending this country into a center left direction, FOREVER.....they can't let this opportunity pass, even if it means going "nucular" on the Constitution. Even if its puts them in the minority for several election cycles.
They pass this now, so that when the GOP is in the majority, and the Economy DOES go over the abyss, unemployment is shooting up along with inflation, he can blame those dastardly republiscums for it, despite all the evidence brought forth of what Cash for Croakers would do the the economy & businesses
