Democrats to adjourn again?

The Brave Sir Robin Congress.

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - You have to hand it to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Once they decide on a strategy, they stick with it. Bloomberg reports that the Democratic Congress will take action in the face of this economic crisis — by beating a hasty retreat:

The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn’t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can’t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments — Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven’t ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday is that “no one knows what to do” at the moment.
