CdC,
The article is a biased opinion. That is the reason for this at the end:
(Kevin Hassett, director of economic-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, is a Bloomberg News columnist. He is an adviser to Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona in the 2008 presidential election. The opinions expressed are his own.)
It only takes a simple majority (which the GOP had) to move a bill out of committee. The GOP failed to do this when they had the chance, therefore using the argument put forth by the author then the GOP is responsible for this mess because they failed to outvote the DNC to get this bill out of committee.
And McCain signing on to this bill as a co-sponsor over a year after it had died in committee is also a nice touch. I'm sure that strategy fooled some people into thinking that he was really doing something instead of just posturing.
BTW, it would not surprise me to learn that Obama has done the same thing, but feel free to look it up if you need to prove it.
