Seems they dont like to just say the words regulation and government program they have replaced it with the word mechanism.

Must be new speak

We do have a mechanism in this country and its called voting and its not a government program and doesnt require regulation.

We plan on using it.
That's certainly not my favorite work.
Wanna guess what my favorite word as a progressive is?

I thought it was the same as their favorite pastime, tea bagging.

This progressive's favorite word is actually a series of favorite words (slightly redacted for C-D): "Maryland Farming Republicans."

Then lets make this bill being voted on tonight a bi-partisan and see if we can't get some regulation without more government control.

How do you make a bill bi-partisan when the party of 'no' prevents it from coming to the floor to be discussed?

I'll give you rep points if you can tell me who performed the original version of the song "Dancing in the streets" and what 80s rock band covered it.
In the 80's, I recall Mick Jagger and David Bowie as well as Van Halen covering it. My guess was Martha and the Vandellas for the original artist and I just looked it up and was correct. Worthless knowledge!!
