The Second Hundred Hours
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (ah, that was fun to write) has put forward a "hundred hour plan" for the first weeks of Democratic control of the house. During the first hundred hours, Democrats will:
- Raise the minimum wage.
- Put in place an ethics plan that "breaks the link" between lobbyists and legislation.
- Protect the nation by implementing the recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission.
- Eliminate the clause that prohibits the government for bargaining over drug prices.
- Promote stem cell research.
- Cut interest rates for student loans.
- Roll back subsidies for oil companies.
- Protect Social Security.
