Tax cuts, spending cuts, blah blah blah!!!
This is all we're going to hear for the next two years. If you thought nothing could get done before, just wait.
We now will have inexperienced lawmakers who stand for nothing but corporate welfare and defense spending ($80 billion just last year on 'intelligence')
the people will be worse for it, the country will be worse for it. But the stock market goes higher!

to see what President Obama comes up with against these fucks. I know the man is already taxed, but he'll consider this a challenge. The 'pubs winning the House is a good thing. I feel a peace about tonight - whatever happens (Disclaimer: and that was before the beer).
