After taking August off, the U.S. Congress is back in session.
Media reports suggest that Democrats are going to attempt to make up for lost time by focusing on an agenda designed to confront the President Bush. Also looming in the future are the 2008 election. More than a few candidates are also members of the House or Senate. Look for their activities to be closely connected to their campaigns.
Immediately on the agenda are:
- The report on the effect of the surge in Iraq
- The replacement of Alberto Gonzales
- The expansion of Children's Health Insurance
- Investigations into the subprime lending market
- Increases in minimal levels of gasoline mileage
