The corporate media won’t say so, but Democrats’ policy agenda for the midterm elections comes with an inherent irony. Even after lawmakers preach “affordability” for the middle class, their proposals would prove unaffordable for the federal government.

That’s the upshot of the report House Democrats’ health care working group delivered to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., earlier in September and which was made public last week. One anonymous source told Politico that the document “was a kitchen-sink-type document where everyone got their idea put in. … Nobody was told no, it seems.” That pretty much describes every Democrat document ever, amounting to the policy equivalent of Oprah’s: “You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!”

Some quick word searches within the document reveal Democrats’ priorities. In the span of an 84-page paper, Democrats use the word “establish” (as in “create new programs”) 64 times, some variation of “expand” (as in “enlarge existing programs”) more than 100 separate times, and some variation of “require” (as in “impose new federal mandates”) over and over. These word choices speak volumes as to the party’s philosophy of (big) government.

The document proposes 18 separate “potential [pieces of] legislation for the first 100 hours” — a legislative package that would leave little time for members to consider anything else (or to sleep or eat) during the initial four days of the 120th Congress. Within the laundry list of proposals for the first 100 hours and beyond, several themes become apparent:
