Pretty astounding political cowardice, basically a vote against ever making even the slightest meaningful dent in our debt or deficits. Actually more pathetic than the CR for 2012 was.

At least all that negotiating ruined the bastards' holiday. I wonder if they got to party or watch any bowl games at all.

Norm Ornstein is probably going to blame this bill's passage on the Republicans.

Americans can now breathe easier knowing there is to be no pain, the can clatters on, and it will still be their children who must suffer.

But I always thought that it wasn't supposed to hurt when you kicked the can down the road. Looks like Obama and Congress kicked virtually every American worker in the a$$ with this bill.

All that matters, really, is who "won" and who "lost". Obama feels he won and can now resume his vacation. The republicans will commence eating their own.
Hope and Change baby.

It would help to kick some cans out of office. But you know the voters. They vote for their man or woman. After all, he or she has been there for 30 or 40 years.
