With aggressive plans that may or may not involve Congress and will definitely not include conservatives, the White House has to be creative when it comes to passing new laws. One trick is to use lots of buzzwords with hidden meanings that cover up liberal lies only Obama supporters understand.

From the Recovery Act to the American Jobs Act to the president’s 2013 budget proposal, transportation infrastructure spending has been a mainstay of White House economic policy.
The Democratic Scheme for Your Future
There is wisdom in restraint. Knowing where to draw the line between necessity and self-indulgence is a skill that some will never master. The past two years on Capitol Hill suggest that Harry Reid is one of those people.
