The wheels come off the liberal juggernaut, but it’s still dangerous.

Fred Barnes "There are two time slots for passing [cap and trade, a value-added tax (VAT), and who knows what else.] ,both difficult. The first is between now and whenever Congress recesses in the fall. Prospects look bleak in this time frame for approving anything except the final version of the financial reform bill. The second is when a lame duck Congress, filled with defeated and retired senators and House members, convenes in December. Lame duck sessions don’t ordinarily enact major policy changes, but this one could be an exception."
