Thank goodness our Congress has its priorities straight

While the bulk of America is awaiting the possibility that our financial lives could go down the tubes, the House of Representatives thankfully took the rest of the day off to spend New Year’s with their families.  I’m sure they’ll take care of those lesser items of concern down the road.  Right now, they’ve done the important thing.  This was especially beneficial since they’ve recently been assured they’ll get those all-important pay raises.  I try – and I mean I try – to not be fatally cynical about the state of our government.  But doggone it, they do make it difficult.
