This is not a lame duck. This is an insane duck

It's increadible to me that the US has lasted as long as it has, considering how inept our goverment is.

Here's a bit about the Tax BIll, a 1900 page bill that no one is going to read (and that should be a firing offense right htere):
This is the story on it all from The Hill: "Senate Democrats have filed a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill --" It's almost 2,000 pages, and the actual legislation hasn't been spelled out. It's just a blueprint. Nobody wants anybody to read this. They just want it voted on up or down. "Senate Democrats have filed a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through fiscal year 2011." That's all of next year. That's through September 30th. This is the Democrats saying (raspberry) you, we don't care who you voted for, we're gonna do the budget. Sorry, guys, you punted. You refused to do a budget because you didn't want to stand for reelection. Well, this is what they woulda done had they had the guts and the courage to do a budget before the election, and they would have been shellacked even more.

"The 1,924-page bill includes funding to implement the sweeping healthcare reform bill Congress passed earlier this year as well as additional funds for Internal Revenue Service agents," and these IRS agents undoubtedly more of the health care reform enforcers. You can bet that there will not be another significant bill introduced in Congress for the rest of time that doesn't throw more money at health care reform. "The package drew a swift rebuke from Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. 'The attempt by Democrat leadership to rush through a nearly 2,000-page spending bill in the final days of the lame-duck session ignores the clear will expressed by the voters this past election,' Thune said in a statement. 'This bill is loaded up with pork projects and should not get a vote. Congress should listen to the American people and stop this reckless spending.'" This is why I said last week, do the same thing to the tax bill, just dump it, just forget it, it's no longer a tax bill. It's not a tax cut anyway. Wait for the cavalry. Wait 'til next January. That's what the Democrats know. That's what Obama knows. That's why they're all trying to get this done now. They're trying to get this done now while they still have a chance with Democrat majorities everywhere

Heritage foundation, and Rush, know what they want the Republicans to do:
RUSH: You know what we ought to do is just shut this down. Just shut down the lame duck. Jim DeMint wants to have this New START Treaty read aloud on the floor of the Senate. Obama says this is a new low in putting political stunts ahead of national security. Right. To have the Senate voting on the START treaty, to ratify it, knowing what it says is a political stunt, says the White House. I'd call it a public service, especially when everything from stimulus to Obamacare to omnibus was never read by anybody. And, by the way, speaking of political stunts, what was Obama signing an executive order to close Gitmo? Still open. White House, Gibbs says, "Reading the START Treaty, why, that's wasting the Senate's time." I'll go you one better Gibbs. Let's shut it down for the rest of the year. If you're worried about wasting time, let's just shut down all of Congress, everybody go home and have a Merry Christmas. The only way that's gonna happen is people forget you. The only way anybody in this country's gonna have a Merry Christmas is to forget about the Democrats and their attempts to destroy this country.

The START treaty, by the way, allows China to have as many nuclear weapons as it wants, Russia to have as many nukes as it wants...but we...we can't have any nukies. Okay, a simplification but that's it...
