If the issue is tax year 2006, wouldn't Republicans have until December 31 to make changes? Retroactive tax cuts may be better politically than timely ones.
I think those bastards should be forced to stay in the Senate/House non-stop until we get tax reform, SS reform, Medicare reform, etc. No showers, no food (might help fatass Kennedy and Levin), just water and a bottle to pee in -- until the United States gets some real reform.
