• Disastrous Judgment On Disaster Relief

HAVE YOU left no sense of decency?" That's the question Joseph Welch famously asked Joseph McCarthy, as the red-baiting demagogue tried to ruin yet another innocent citizen. And these days, it's the question I find myself wanting to ask Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, who has done more than anyone else to make policy blackmail - using innocent Americans as hostages - standard operating procedure for the GOP. A few weeks ago, Cantor was the hard man in the confrontation over the debt ceiling; he was willing to endanger America's financial credibility, putting our whole economy at risk, in order to extract budget concessions from President Barack Obama. Now he's doing it again, this time over disaster relief, making headlines by insisting that any federal aid to the victims of Hu...

• Obama Goals On Hold in Budget ; $3.6 Trillion Plan Passed

The House and Senate Thursday each passed their versions of the 2010 budget that omitted some of President Obama's key priorities on energy and taxes, while pushing off big decisions about health care reform for a later day. The record $3.6 trillion budget plan that passed in the House by a 233-196 vote gives congressional Democrats the option to use a parliamentary short cut to push through Mr. Obama's top policy goals and avoid a filibuster by Senate Republicans.
