get ready. The stage is just about set. Some day in the near future it will be just before midnight. Haggard looking politicians with ties undone will emerge from behind close doors with the press waiting with baited breath. Smiles, speeches, self congratulatory back patting all around. Heroes abound. Once again, they have all worked so hard to save us all with their last minute heroics and bipartisan statesmanship. Get ready folks. It’s coming. And the press will gush over the great courage shown by all to raise our taxes and increase our debt. Another magnificent performance for the people by those doing the people...I mean...doing the peoples business.
You are wrong.
There will be no tax increases.
The Republicans will not vote to raise taxes, period.
The votes are not there.
Mark it.
You are wasting all this time and angst over it.
