what just happened.....

We extended the Bush tax cuts and re-enacted a "cushy" estate tax so all the politicans could deflect attention away from the 700 Billion in tax cuts and instead act like the estate tax compromise that will cost about 35 billion is a big deal. They know we're all ADD and penny wise and pound foolish. And for the record, the estate tax IS double taxation and is a government method of re-distributing the wealth. That's the only reason for it to exist.

We got rid of don't ask don't tell in favor of you can ask if you want and we might tell you even if you'd rather not know, just because now we can.
Most of us out here can't figure out why this issue gets so much press at a time when there are bigger fish to fry...and for those that really would like to know why this is, it's because it's an issue taht will cause a big distraction without offending a statistically significant portion of the population either way.

No dream act, so innocent kids that got here because their parents brought them, and who have worked hard and done well and kept their noses clean still can't stay if anyone finds them out. Personally I wish we could just deport troublemakers, citizen or no, and keep the good folks, citizen or no.

There was more, but the truly big news is that every man, woman, and child in the country just assumed another $3000 of national debt.

Merry Christmas!

“I challenge the best hackers in the business to have a look inside,” he said, speaking from an undisclosed location. “There’s nothing there.”
