Midknight Review -- new and revised: Our predictions for the remaining Lame Duck session

Don't ask, don't tell will not be dealt with. It failed a couple of months ago. It will not pass through and Lame Duck session.

The Dream Act: too complicated to be dealt with in the Lame Duck session.

Card Check: not enough support and too many other important issues to deal with in the next five days.

Tax rate extensions: Midknight Review that Obama just might refuse to make the concessions so many say he will agree to. Rather, the tax extensions will be a matter for the new congress. The agreement will be retroactive. In the meantime, increased paycheck deductions will be the order of the day.
Update am 11/29/2010 Of course, most pundits disagree with our prediction. Tuesday will see a high level meeting between Obama and GOP/Democrat leaders on this very subject. We will know much about how Obama might deal with the incoming GOP leaning congress. Obama has announced this meeting as he pitches himself as "the man in the middle."

Budget proposal: this was to have been finish [by law] last March, 2010. The Dems put it off and will not work on this matter before they retire for ever.

Update am 11/29/2010 Continuing resolution: this will be the order of the week. Without any work completed on either the budget or its 13 appropriation bills - and the Democrat 111th Congress is the first to fail in providing this legislation - a "continuing resolution" is in order. Such is rather easily accomplished. It is a stop-gap measure, used to provide legal authorization to keep the government funded at current spending levels. Midknight Review cannot imagine that this congress will come to a close without this provision being passed into law.

Understand that the Libs have been telling us for 10 years that the Bush tax cuts benefited only the rich guy, not the middle class. How is that true if the so-called rich will pay $700 million more in taxes while the working middle class will pay $3 TRILLION in additional taxes???

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
