摘要

According to Otto von Bismarck, the making of laws, like the making of sausages, should never be watched. Congress this week illustrated his point. The Republican leaders were very keen to pass two laws that would help the White House-the energy bill and a huge extension of the Medicare programme-before adjourning for Thanksgiving. To do so, they subjected the world's most powerful democratic body to a messy mixture of arm-twisting, procedural manipulation and special-interest politicking. Despite these sterling efforts, the Republicans actually failed on energy. Some 40 senators, including six Republicans, stood firm against the proposed law, enough to delay it by filibuster if necessary. A costly law that does little for America's energy problems, but piles subsidies and tax breaks in the lap of every conceivable business connected to energy, has been shelved-at least until January.
