8. Should never have been given EVER. Everyone who voted for

it and let it go through will go to hell when they die. (I only believe in hell when I'm tired. Tomorrow, not so much) :)

4. You Know, That's the Sad Reality...

if only he did such a thing. Chicago school of economics obviously has entranced a whole lot of folks in this administration.... it's almost fanatical as they continue to believe in a failed ideology... worked well as a scam though, didn't it?

9. Repubs had planned on beating us on the head about making them permanent before the next election

Obama is going to start beating them on the head tonight about ending them.

Wonder if the Rethugs were planning on that?
