Alright, we’ve all probably seen the dirty tax trick pulled by Republicans, so there’s not much to say along those lines. But, here’s a couple of questions:
1. What kind of mindset decides to get this passed? Everybody thinks this is a bad idea, but there it was, a vote away from being law. What’s scary is Istook says it was all a “misunderstanding,” which will probably pass as acceptable to mainstream media. This may be a forecast of the years to come: Shit, we got caught … we didn’t really mean it.
2. What else is in the 1,000-page tax bill? Maybe the blogosphere should undertake a collective project to read everything the GOP is passing, because it doesn’t seem like we can rely on our elected officials to do it.
