This morning, Harry Reid, the Senate Democrat leader, announced that he did not see how any plan on the fiscal cliff could be brought up in the senate in time to beat the January 1 deadline. Then, Reid castigated John Boehner for letting the House members recess subject to recall.
Let's get that straight. Reid announces that the senate cannot act before January 1 due to lack of time. That means that any bill to deal with the cliff has to start all over in the new session of Congress that begins on January 3. It also means that there is nothing that the House could do before then which would make any difference. But to keep pointing fingers at the GOP, Reid blames the Speaker of the House for not keeping members in Washington when it is too late to do anything.
Another prime example of doubletalk from Harry Reid.
