all set...we're good...higher taxes, a boatload of new spending and the unemployed can happily remain unemployed for another year, I guess that is to offset all of the new revenue...we'll talk about mundane topics like spending reductions in a couple of months when we discuss increasing the debt ceiling...again......which I guess makes a lot of sense...talking about possible cuts when you are simultaneously planning and expected to borrow even more money and go further into debt
but who is counting anyway?
Obama Returns to Hawaii at an Added Cost of Over $3 Million

In a move that is rich in irony, President Obama this morning agreed to sign an emergency deficit reduction bill that does almost nothing to rein in spending and then jetted out to Hawaii to resume his vacation at an extra cost of more than $3 million to taxpayers.
The price tag is in addition to more than $4 million that is already being spent on the Obamas’ Hawaii idyll, bringing the total cost of the excursion to well over $7 million.
