I have Obie sold out and I don't care how Mathews spins it.

BTW it is not a perspective it is a fact.

I agree that we have the best Congress that money can buy. The only problem is that they don't come cheap, and most folks can't afford them.

BTW, the pork makes up less than one percent of the budget. That's not pocket change, but it's very low on the causes of the budget deficit. My view is that the industrial military complex is the biggest beneficiary of government largess.

The voters in November said that spending was out of control. so, an out of control spending bill just got yanked. Apparently, somebody got the message inside the Beltway.

Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks.

Whell done!

To the tune of nearly $800,000,000,000 every year, Don.

Frankly, I think it would have been possible to get both spending cuts and tax reductions, but the Repubicans continue to demonstrate that they don't know how to negotiate.

Oh, I dunno. There was a chart in our local paper today that showed that on average the new tax bill as agreed upon by the GOP and The Whitehouse would save taxpayers in the $200k to $500k bracket a whopping $1,800. And that it would cost those in the $500k to $1mil bracket $45 per annum, due to the reinstatement of the Estate Tax.(On average.)

Wooooeeeeee! Hold onto your hat, Nellie, were gonna create us some jobs now! YeeHaw!

I won't have to pay an extra $346 per annum. A whole $6.65 a week. Awesome! Now I can afford that summer villa in Tuscany! Thank you, Tea Party! If it hadn't been for you I would have ended up having to eat my dog.
And she's a good dog, I wouldn't have been happy about that.

What a f**kin' joke. You can stick your Bush Tax Cuts up your pooper for all I care.
