What the heck happened in DC?
Democrats voting for tax breaks and Republicans voting for increasing deficits. My guess is that this is just a trick similar to "War of the Worlds".
Don't panic, it is all a hoax. Your politicians will be returned to their party lines.
It looks like the Bush tax-cuts will live on at least for the next two years. I think they will live on long past the two year agreement. The rich seem to have a strangle hold on the G.O.P. and for some reason they have brainwashed a lot of the working Americans into supporting their agenda. I guess hoping for scraps to trickle down is a comfort for some.
My vote is to let them expire. I'm not a fan of taking home less money but it is just crazy that the G.O.P. can keep anything from getting done in DC.
In the same news cycle I hear that the Senate approves extending the tax-cuts one minute then I hear that CEO's are getting $144 Billion in bonuses this year. The top 5 banks are reported to have set aside $89.5 Billion in bonuses. The share for the executives is larger because their were larger number of employees laid off. I would think layoffs would be a good indicator whether to give executives a bonus. Basically, if you have to layoff employees to balance the books you do not deserve a bonus. I get that layoffs could happen when companies streamline production. However, good growth should offset the layoffs. Layoffs due to outsourcing are a subject for another post!
This might be a good point to wrap up since I'm starting to piss myself off and that's not good for the blood pressure.
Take a minute to visit Old iSkool and The Goal Farm too!
I am sticking with this hands-free data-entry device and still would like someone to volunteer to edit this blog. I'm doing the best I can but it's hard to catch my mistakes and all the times the software doesn't understand me.
