Does there seem to be a pattern here?
You betcha.
Same thing goes for lately proposed gun laws that they had relaxed to the point of near extinction.
You have to scare congress shitless for them to produce panic laden legislation.
They are now running around like headless chickens screaming fiscal cliffs and bumped heads; so expect some more stunningly piss poor legislation soon.
The MSM in all of this? Sniffling, but, but it would all be fine with a touch of bipartisany feelings, yah really.
Totally fucking useless.
They wonder why congress is about as popular as drinking bleach as a cocktail?
No wonder everyone looks to the President of the day to do the job for them, now that is worrying; as our government was not designed to work that way.
