Now this is what I call good old fashioned Democratic ingenuity, the kind you learn from growing up in working class families where evcerything is handed to you on a silver spoon.

Democrats plan aggressive policy investigations

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

Democratic senators plan an array of policy committee hearings in which they plan to resume an aggressive congressional oversight role on Bush policies and decisions, RAW STORY has learned.

The committee – the Senate Democratic Policy Committee – is a longstanding caucus committee of Democrats which was created in the 1940s. It will, Democrats believe, allow them a platform from which to conduct hearings and investigative action despite the fact that Republicans have an edge in both chambers of Congress.

On Friday, Democrats will hold their first policy meeting on Social Security. But this meeting, a top Senate aide told RAW STORY, is only the tip of the iceberg.
