Second, I'm more likely to hang politicians and their supporters from lamp-posts.

All I'm saying is, let's see what happens next. All that happened yesterday was a "stop gap" measure - -a delaying tactic for both sides (except for 98% of the Bush tax cuts being made PERMANENT). It was merely a charade, bukkake theater. If the Republicns end up caving in the next round, then I will happily supply the rope. And a winch. And tie the nooses.

What one congress passes, another can undo. Your PERMANENT is a fleeting wisp of a thing.

BTW, today, I've heard of 5 folks that won't be drawing pay in two weeks. Two I know aren't getting a pay envelope on Friday. The others have a bit of time.

That's just from family members that are having to adjust to the current reality. Family will do ok, for various values of ok, but we won't starve.
