Ok, maybe not the apocalypse since one of the things that Congress is working on is a treaty with Russia to reduce both of our nuclear bombs and such. This is a good thing but I'm pretty sure that it means we have taken a step back from the "prophesied" apocalypse (which in my opinion is a good thing).
Our senators and house reps. actually acted like grown adults and made a compromise! YAY! A+ for effort. Was it everything that the democrats wanted? Hell no. Did it make the tax breaks permanent like the republicans wanted? Hell no. Was it some where in between? HELL YEAH! It's a start at least. This is something that we need to push our representation to do more, especially since the Senate is owned by the dems and the House by the republicans. Otherwise NOTHING will ever get done in the next two years.
Sad part is that if they do work together, I would prefer the House and Senate to be dominated by different parties. This makes it so no one group is in power and can just run a muck without thinking about the rest of the populace, you know the minority that we oscillate being and not being. It will be interesting if this little love session will last after the New Year when all of that new blood will be pouring into the halls.
