You are spot on! Does anyone seriously think that our elected officials are going to give up their addiction to OUR $? The lawyers, accountants , & politicians are not going to sign into law their unemployment bill - we will continue to receive the occasional pablum of tax reform promises short of radical change or revolution.We have the best Congress money can buy.

Fellows, I'll bet there's still some optimism left in you or you wouldn't be reading and posting at FR. Don't get caught being pessimistic in a world where lots of hope remains. Think what it would be like if we still had the Dems running everything, as was the case in the '70s. Not only are we past that, but we have great leadership now, probably the best of my lifetime.
