John Fund: The Obama-Pelosi Lame Duck Strategy – WSJ.com.

The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That’s why there have been signs in recent weeks that party leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to muscle through bills in December they don’t want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.

Hide your money!  They’re going to get every penny of it they can find come January 2011!

This is just the kind of thing that makes people despise politicians.  They do sneaky stuff like this trying to get their last hurrah before they get their asses kicked out.  If you want real reform, make any legislation passed by lame duck sessions be taken up and voted on without changes by the incoming congress.

You can also look at the sickening presidential pardons like those committed by Clinton as evidence of their lack of respect for the American people they are supposedly representing.
