Good friend Mark Coffey notes that the Democrats, who have been pounded for not providing tangible alternatives to the Republican policies, have finally come out with a plan.  Mark is suggesting it may be better to go back to the ‘no plan’ plan.  I’ll take issue with one item right off the back – since when did the middle class in this country live of a minimum wage?  Is Dean’s plan to go out and say all us middle class need a bigger minimum wage?  There’s an insult in there somewhere, I am pretty sure.

But this one really burns me up: ‘The inspection of all cargo coming into the United States.”  The Democrats who jumped on the Dubai Port Deal mob-wagon have a lot of ‘splaining to do.  Because inside that deal the UAE was going to pay for cargo scanners to be placed in all the port terminals they operate across the world.  Yes, on their dime they were going to beef up our security by scanning items before they left dock to come here.

Need I point out that a nuclear bomb ladened ship need only enter the harbor to be effective?  This is one of the critical national security benefits we lost when we snubbed the UAE.

Good catch Mark.
