Harry Reid has been in some form of elected public office at the Nevada state or Federal level since 1969. Nixon was in office when Harry first joined major public office holders, to look at it another way. He's LONG past poster boy status for Term Limits.
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): "Isn't it a good thing today in America that we have an automobile manufacturing sector? If it had been up to them [Republicans], General Motors would be gone. If it were up to them, Ford Motor Company would probably be gone. Chrysler definitely would be gone."
Do you really think that a Republican member of the House, given a chance to trash Harry Reid or a Federal Agency would not have taken it if there were any substantive facts to be had?

Is Harry not damaging an American cattle farm, ultimately for the creation of a Chinese owned solar power farm? I guess you can say that the US and China are not enemies... but some might argue otherwise.
The USG has a friendly relationship with China, but thay hardly reflects the views of Americans it seems. And since the gov. Is SUPPOSED to represent it's constituents then such a move could be seen as treasonous. At least the way I see it.
In an interview, UNITE HERE President D. Taylor said the union has been in talks with the White House and the Treasury Department over how Taft-Hartley plans should be interpreted under the law.

I believe, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, that the Affordable Care Act is administered by Treasury. It's simply an arm of the IRS as I understand it.
Taft-Hartley plans are non-profit, self-insurance plans used by unions for the flexibility and mobility they provide. At one time they were quite popular with educational facilities as well. My understanding is that they will be phased out completely under the ACA. They are connected to the IRS because they have to file paperwork for their non-profit status.
It is the purpose and policy of this Act [chapter], in order to promote the full flow of commerce, to prescribe the legitimate rights of both employees and employers in their relations affecting commerce, to provide orderly and peaceful procedures for preventing the interference by either with the legitimate rights of the other, to protect the rights of individual employees in their relations with labor organizations whose activities affect commerce, to define and proscribe practices on the part of labor and management which affect commerce and are inimical to the general welfare, and to protect the rights of the public in connection with labor disputes affecting commerce.

So what? This all took place in Nevada. And had the "judge" actually checked her facts which she clearly didn't the solar plant was supposed to be built 180 miles from where Bundy was illegally grazing.

Yet reid's deal with the Chinese fell through a year ago.
Company dumps big Laughlin solar project, says market won’t support it
With the solar project now just a mirage, commissioners will discuss what to do with the 9,000 acres of county-owned land at their July 2 meeting.
Sisolak said job creation and economic diversification are the two biggest criteria he’ll use when considering future proposals.
The large size of the parcel should generate plenty of interest, said Sisolak, who envisions solar, industrial and manufacturing uses all fitting well there.

You take legitamte claims and then use them to support Bundy's Illegalities. That is the problem. We need to support those cases where the people ARE in the right rather than supporting just anyone who breaks the law at will.
There needs to be a clear distinction here. Bundy was in the wrong from the get go... and by supporting someone who is wrong, you trivialize in the media those cases that are very legitimate.

That said, he shouldn't be using his position as a senator to line his own pocket while doing so, but here Reid is definitely not alone, this is done by at LEAST 80% of all politicians today.
My vote and stance is on firing every last person in office in the house, senate, and white house all at the same time... and getting a fresh group of representatives in those positions that will start really doing the right thing for the people.
