All of a sudden, in the twinkling of an eye, Dummacrats and Republicons appear to have grown up and started to make sense. If this NYT article is to be believed, they've just passed a bill giving the American people a break on that which was previously held inviolate and immutable -- taxes. And almost a trillion dollars' worth -- Am I seeing things? With more Democrat than Republican Representatives voting for it?!?!
OK, OK, they didn't wake up yesterday realizing they'd been selfish pigs and cannibals all their illustrious political lives. They certainly haven't restored the Constitution to final authority in their deliberations. (If they had, most public servants would quickly be out of a job.) Let's face it, this is probably nothing but the same old narrow, blind self-interest that's motivated these skunks all along: they've added the Tea Party movement, the European riots and the actual state of things in ameriKa up and remembered, finally, that crime doesn't pay. Could the sight of English university students rocking the royal limousine and shouting "off with their heads" have anything to do with improving Congressional eyesight?At the least this development shows politicians capable of coherence. At best, it may, who knows, presage a return to actual sanity for them and hope for us. They're so all-fired concerned about the deficit -- would somebody out there care to remind them it's nothing but funny money, and all they have to do is abolish the Fed to solve that little problem? Or, as a New Jersey compatriotess of mine used to say, "mint one umpteen-trillion-dollar coin out of pot metal, hand it to the Fed and say "debt discharged."
Will O'Bama sign the bill, or did he agree beforehand to take the rap? Something has to be wrong with this picture, but as of this moment I don't see what it is.

Wow, it's been a busy day of catch-up on juicy tax news -- is this the last item of the lot? From News Of the Weird:
In October, Freddie Mac (the government-sponsored but privately owned home mortgage financier -- whose massive debts have been assumed in a federal "bailout" administered by the Treasury Department) filed a claim in Tax Court against the Internal Revenue Service, denying IRS's claim that it owes $3 billion in back taxes from 1998-2005. Should taxpayers care? If Freddie Mac wins, IRS (which is also housed in the Treasury Department) loses out on the $3 billion in alleged back taxes. If IRS wins, it gets its $3 billion, which will undoubtedly be paid with taxpayer bailout money. Lawyers for both sides seem to think that pursuing the lawsuit is important.
