The current lame-duck session of Congress is very much like the last 2-minutes of a football game. They have gone along all year without passing a budget, without extending the current tax rates or making them permanent, without addressing the illegal immigration issue, and without approving the START treaty (actually they've had 8 years to do this one). Now in a matter of just a few weeks, they are trying to make up for lost time and give the President everything he wants.
In the first place, the President shouldn't get everything he asks for - no President ever has - until now.
Second, a large number of members currently voting in favor of more spending and regulation should have a guilty conscience because they know they don't represent the will of the people - having lost the election last month.
Third, Congress has already done too much financial damage this year and should just give it a rest. Go home.
There is absolutley nothing on the agenda that can't wait until January 3rd - including the tax rate extensions.
Go home, Congress. Merry Christmas.
