I mean, just how useless are these idiots? Under Harry Reid's "leadership", the Senate has put together a bill that would extend the cuts to Social Security tax collection for another 2 months. 2 months? How stupid is that? We'll be right back having the same debate in 8 weeks, with nothing solved. People can't budget, businesses don't know which way to set withholding on paychecks, the government's income is unpredictable. Because these spoiled children want a tax bill for 2 months.

The senate leadership needs to be tossed in the weeds and be replaced by responsible adults. Give the house some credit, they at least are trying not to waste everyone's time and money and put together a bill for the year. But Lord Harry can't go along, he wants the chance to tack more spending on every few weeks.

Question is what is wrong with the house? Wasn't that the place that came up with the short term debt limit bandaids?

Of course on the other hand, we could always just keep passing tax cuts indefinitely for working stiffs who earn all their money from a pay check.... the same way we do now for the wealthy!

The problem with both the house and senate = too much influence from the 1%.

Why would tax and spend Dems want an extension of the payroll tax cut at all? I don't recall ever hearing a Dem since JFK say they believe tax cuts help the economy.

What's wrong with the Senate? Harry 'this war is lost' Reid. No budget presented in 1000 days. Why is that?
