Card Check Reading: Goodies and Fortune Telling
Monday, November 16th, 2009 by adminSeveral good items have hit our in-box recently that we thought best to pass along. In the Houston Chronicle, it’s “Goodies for labor tucked away in health bill.” Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundations says “Big Labor Is Bankrupting Our Country.”
Perhaps even more interesting, though, is the note from New York Times’ Ross Douhat on the importance jobs will play as a political issue in 2010. Writing of Democrats, Douhat argues:
It’s hard to imagine any legislation that might be attacked as “job killing” — like the Employee Free Choice Act, immigration reform or even cap-and-trade — finding traction in Congress next year.
It will be interesting to see if he’s correct. EFCA is not only to be “attacked as ‘job killing’” — it is a factual statement that must be made repeatedly. EFCA will kill jobs, not create them.
