ABC’s Political Unit has finally justified its existence by finding and printing the (hopefully rough) draft of the congressional Democrats’ own “Contract With America 2: The Wrath of Rahm.” It’s a legislative agenda with six planks. They are:
- (1) a minimum wage increase;
- (2) repealing the portion of the Medicare prescription drug law that prevents Medicare from negotiating for lower drug prices;
- (3) implementing all of the 9/11 Commission’s homeland security recommendations;
- (4) reinstating pay-as-you-go budget rules;
- (5) making college more affordable; and
- (6) a sixth plank that has not yet been settled upon.
An earlier draft, of course, had 7 planks, with the last being “there is no plank 7.”
