Thanks for a realistic assessment of the situation, “as it is”.
May I ask you for one other, unrelated opinion?
Given your view of the current “climate” in Congress, which heavily favors the democrats, what is your prediction insofar as to how the coming gun control putsch will proceed?
Much more optimistic on the gun issue. The GOP House should be able to defeat a really bad gun control law, and there are enough GOP senators to sustain a filibuster.
The thing that drives me up the wall is the STRUCTURE of the GWB taxcuts-—designed to sunset after ten years. If it weren’t for that sunsetting feature, the GWB tax rates could stay in effect without much effort.
