The congressional pay freeze should be separated from the federal workers pay freeze because they are right now using middle class America as leverage for their own pay increases.

Face Palmer User ID: 31284663 Germany 01/01/2013 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Happy new year folks! "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

The political brinkmanship has hurt investor confidence and consumer spending, and if a prolonged stalemate drags into the early months of 2013, the price of Washington’s inaction on the economy could be even steeper.

Indeed, he tweets, the deal overwhelmingly passed by the Senate is likely to tank the economy. [link to www.newsmax.com] Senate-Passed Deal Means Higher Taxes on 77% of Households The budget deal passed by the U.S. Senate today would raise taxes on 77.1 percent of U.S. households, mostly because of the expiration of a payroll tax cut, according to preliminary estimates from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington. More than 80 percent of households with incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 would pay higher taxes. Among the households facing higher taxes, the average increase would be $1,635, the policy center said. A 2 percent payroll tax cut, enacted during the economic slowdown, is being allowed to expire as of yesterday.

Both sides wait till the last minute, strike a deal then parade themselves as the hero of the day. It's designed to give us faith in their ability to get things done, but in reality they're powerless against the unending financial complexities they themselves created. Just my two cents, but that's how it's consistently appeared to me over the last 30 years. |
