The Chicago Tribune reported this morning that Congress is packing up and going home
for the holidays without taking action on the payroll tax cut bill. Because the hard-charging conservative House Republicans refused to consider even a minor tax increase on a small percentage of the wealthiest Americans, 160,000,000 million Americans are going to see their taxes go UP on January 1. In addition, roughly 3,000,000 of the 13.3 million unemployed Americans are going to see their long term unemployment benfits come to a screeching halt, and doctors are going to see a 20% decrease in the amount that they receive for Medicare.

my the falling unemployment rate, which you can read about at the link below:

If you can forgive the vulgarity, that simple truth is this:
If you piss off most of the country, you ain't gonna get re-elected.
