Good Name, Bad Bill

Good Name, Bad Bill

"Unfortunately, the Gang of Eight bill sends precisely the wrong message. In the long run, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the legislation would have a positive effect on wages and employment, but that would come only after a decade of economic displacement. In its analysis of the bill, the CBO stated: "As the labor supply initially increased under the legislation, less capital would be available for each worker to produce output, and thus workers' output, on average, would be lower for a time. That decline would reduce average wages relative to those under current law." CBO reached a similar conclusion regarding unemployment, which would rise in the short term."

A huge improvement would be translate the bill into plan English. As it can't be translated as is, pare down the bill until it can. If the parts removed are the loopholes for the special interests and more loopholes to allow the administration to ignore the dictates of the bill, so much to the good. Finally, all delegation of legislative authority to the executive must be removed.

That done, the various talking points won't matter.

It may not pass because many votes are gained with pork. It may not matter because the Obama administration is using executive powers to circumvent all laws. No need to give them additional cover.

The Chicago way is "when you opponent takes out one of your guys, you take out one of his." Any law breaker within the administration, needs to be held accountable and punished to the full extent of the law. This administration needs to be made aware that they are not above the law, or the constitution. We need to take a few out as an example.
