On Americas most pressing issues. they have failed to act. and on others they demonstrated an uncanny Midas touch. Take the $800 billion prescription drug benefit. Rather than reducing costs for seniors. it is nothing more than an ATM machine for HMOs and drug companies. Two studies released yesterday show that the prices of medicines used by seniors are rising twice the rate of inflation. Consider the energy bill. In June 2005. a month before the bill passed. gas was $2.07. today. it is more than $3. On immigration. the House Republicans have sent up a white flag. an issue which they have ignored for 6 years. They offer more talk. less action. They wont pass a bill.
