session to "supposedly" fix this. It's funny how congress still can't decide how to solve it since congress put us in this situation in the first place.

You would think, since this was coming up, that all 5 (Boehner, Pelosi, Obama, Reid, and
McConnell) would have had some sort of plan to begin negotiations. I know why the Rs didn't; they didn't expect the president to get re-elected and so they were just going to list cuts and wait until Mitt came in.

But thank God that didn't happen.

Interesting, very interesting.
