Bloomberg reports that Congressional wingnuts are drafting a born-again Contract with America.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus are preparing a "Contract With America II" that would call for. . .replacing Obamacare, overhauling entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, and repealing the estate tax.
[It] also calls for legislation to slash government regulations by 20 percent, cut corporate tax rates and expand offshore oil drilling.
But wait, there's more. The early draft obtained by Bloomberg. . .
. . .calls for closing corporate tax "loopholes" and cutting the top corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 35 percent; banning federal funds for Planned Parenthood and other groups that perform abortions; overhauling entitlement programs and enacting measures "to promote workfare, not welfare."
This heartwarming news emerged today. You know, Friday the 13th. Perfect.
In line with recent Supreme Court rulings, the new Contract will contain a forced-arbitration clause: opposition will be evaluated and summarily crushed by a panel of 'judges' vetted by the Tea Party and funded by the Koch brothers.
You know, kind of like forced-arbitration clauses in the fine print of most consumer and labor contracts these days.
So, what did you expect?
