vk - so what is wrong with waiting another 5 mos for action if the action[s] the congress might take are anything like the action[s] they have taken so far?!? the fact that congress does not act allows the federal reserve and wall street to run things so that they can get the blame for whatever! let the tax hike hit - it might be what voters need to get rid of the bnch of clowns in dc - not much else has helped so far! besides, we all new that congress would remain in its stalemate after the last election thru the next election. inaction is nothing that was not expected.

just sayin, ya know?
