It’s a Christmas Miracle
Shocking. Absolutely amazing. Greatest day ever. Congress Finally manages to perform the unthinkable. Congress actually managed to do their bare minimum of responsibility finally – they passed the budget.
Now, don’t take this the wrong way. It doesn’t mean the budget is any good. It doesn’t mean they accomplished this feat without their usual useless drama. It doesn’t mean the right priorities were addressed. It doesn’t mean the pork wasn’t served up like monopoly money. It doesn’t mean they even read what they passed.
No, as I said, they did the absolute minimum amount of work required to keep the country afloat. Of course, they did it at a breakneck speed over the course of a couple of days after virtually ignoring it since, well, almost forever.
Wow. I think that means we, as Americans, can take a breath. We can spend a few days enjoying the holidays and maybe for a change get together with friends and family and not argue about politics. Fat chance of that, but it is Christmas. Maybe we can get just try for once to create our own peace on earth.
But for now, I’ll take the good news that Congress manages to do the bare minimum as a sign of a Christmas miracle. Of course, now it’s just on to the next self-inflicted political wound that is the nation’s capital. So pass around some egg nog with a little extra spike this year. We deserve it.
