Hardly a surprise. The current crop of Politicians is focused on maintaining diametric opposition to either side that they have lost sight of the jobs they were elected to do. Meanwhile the collective "we" get to sit back and watch the train wreck as it happens - remember, "we" voted for this.

[sarcasm] :idea: Let's start a petition on the White House website that demands elected officials actually do their jobs![/sarcasm]

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Looks like people with incomes over 400k get to pay higher taxes. And any cuts will be held off for a couple months.

I didn't notice anything different today - at the bottom of the cliff. WTF

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Oops, looks like this deal may not be done. Both the TEA Party and Liberal Dems hate the new plan. Joe Biden's Senate deal is falling apart.

A successful compromise is one that everyone hates.

I am tired of my employees waiting until the very last second to turn in a project that is not what was promised nor asked for.

Unfortunately the majority of our fellow Countrymen not only accept poor and/or no performance from our Gubment, they re-elected our current Administration. In other words "we" voted for it.
