Let’s see, doing the math…okay, carry the one…that’s about $7.6 billion additional dollars flowing into Florida and almost 600,000 new jobs. Somehow, I think we’d all say, “yes,” to such a bold investment in ourselves, our communities, our economy, our future.

Dead fish, black birds & orange speakers.
We could go all apocalyptic and suggest these are signs of the final days. But I’d only go there if someone with orange skin was to become Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
C’mon Congress, have some fun!
Wouldn’t be funny if the House really voted to strip out of the bill the estate tax silliness? That would, of course, alter the bill and require it to go back to the Senate. This would send the entirety of Washington into apoplexy. The senate would freak out. The president would freak out.
Tax deal: we can all cry.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful but the tax talk is so delightful. But since we’ve no place to go, let the snow job go on in the Congress…” Or something like that.
BREAKING: Cave in at White House!
The tax cut deal is good news! We were worried the millionaires and billionaires might have to fork over more of their riches to taxes and help reduce the U.S. debt. Thankfully, they can now go off to St. Bart’s for the holidays without a worry in the world.
Tax cuts for millionaires.
Republicans and some Democrats are willing to let hungry people get even hungrier through this glorious holiday season to stand on the principle that millionaires and billionaires should continue to pay less in taxes.
RED ALERT! Gossip on the Internet!!
“We have a rampant information spreader, a RIS, on the loose, gentlemen, someone so despicable they would willingly publish on the InnerTubes information embarrassing to diplomats worldwide!”
The Millionaire Congress…
According to a study just out by the Center for Responsive Politics, nearly half the members of Congress – 251, to be exact – are millionaires. Seems about right: 2 percent of all Americans are millionaires. Half the members of Congress are millionaires.
Let my taxes go!
The Congress doesn’t have to do anything on the tax cuts. They could just let them expire. That would be a do-nothing Congress with some actual benefit to the nation. It would be President Bush & the Congress of 2001 & 2003 who raised taxes on January 1, 2011.
No, no, no…the ditch is just fine.
No matter what we do, we seem intent – at least lately, with the rare exception – on voting ourselves right smack into a deep hole. Quit digging, already, ‘Murka! What are you thinking?
