Tax, Biases Revealed, Repeal by EO

Here comes the taxation and the spending. First, in New York City, it's "tax all the bridges":

Sources tell CBS 2 HD that putting tolls on some or all of the East River bridges is part of the bailout plan being considered for the MTA. "People coming into the city should be paying for some of the service they get," Schwartz said.

Tolling all four bridges may be a heavy lift for Mayor Michael Bloomberg right now, which is why it's possible tolls could be put on just two. Another option is to have tolls only during morning and evening rush hours. Sources say putting tolls on all four spans could raise almost $1 billion for mass transit.

The Washington Post dares to write the truth (by Deborah Howell):

The Post provided a lot of good campaign coverage, but readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.

Barack Hussein Obama plans to use his power of the Executive Order immediately:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

And, of course, there must be more handouts the likes of which I wrote about on Friday:

Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a letter Saturday to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that the administration should consider expanding the bailout to include car companies.

But who's to say the Demorats and Leftists don't have a sense of humor, eh?

Incidentally, don't expect McCain to be on board with Conservatives post-Obama; expect another iteration of the Gang of 14 and other obstructionist measures taken in sympathy with any number of Demorat ideals. Just an Important Safety Tip from BZ to my dear readers.
