We are going over the fiscal cliff and President Obama is giving almost all Federal employees an additional day off. Isn't that wonderful of Santa Barack?

[George from New England]

Does this free day off apply to any military ?

[b4its2late]

Son of a Beach, I have to work!

[LostInBayport]

Without pay, right?

**crickets**

[RckyRaCoCo]

Maria Bartaromo(CNBC) rips Dem. Sen. Cardin a new one regarding the fiscal cliff...

[beandog]

If they want the day off, they should have to use their own vacation. Wonder if he will give them NY Eve off too.

And, of course, you were just as riled up when other presidents, other Republican Presidents, have done this in the past?

[Jim Robinson]

Party like there’s no tomorrow.

[Terry Mross]

So let it be written. So let it be done.

[what's up]

Kwanzaa off too?

[mdittmar]

Gotta work,gonna get those truck drivers home for Christmas.

[TexasCajun]

The Fed employees get two days to celebrate what?

[morphing libertarian]

Good for them.

Nor everything is a sign of impending doom.

[morphing libertarian]

I understand some of the marines at pendleton are off from today until Jan 2. Perhaps we should bah humbug that also.

************************

With my private sector job I get 5 of the above - with Friday after Thanksgiving and Monday before Christmas as a paid holiday.

So Public Sector goes from 10 to 11 - just ducky.....

Here’s a question, because it’s now a paid Holiday do those working the day get overtime now?

[Son House]

The Boehner Plan B passing higher tax rates on millionaires will increase the tax a few individuals have to pay, it will not increase tax revenues to the treasury.

Or what’s not being explained about the Democrat tax increase on those with 250k and above, it will not increase tax revenues to the treasury or improve the economy.

[memyselfandi59]

Evidently our state offices are too because I called the DMV office this morning and asked what days they were going to be open next week and they said Wed-Fri.

[L,TOWM]

Actually, any day that the fedgov leaches are safely at home and not in their offices coming up with new ways to f-—k us, that is a gift to all of the american people.

I would like it very much if these people were off work every day of the year.

[Son House]

The Democrat tax increase on those earning 250k and above will NOT increase tax revenues to the Treasury, thinking about the famous Martin Niemöller quote, though in this case

When the Democrats came for the ‘millionaires and billionaires’, I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a millionaire or billionaire...Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

What about the post office?

My local post office has a sign on the door which states they close at noon on Christmas Eve.

[Poundstone]

Don’t bust a gut. This is no big deal.
