1. They are passing the tax cuts bill that will last until 2009
capital gains and dividends is the biggest portion of this bill. Rangle proposed an alternative which just failed. They are trying to curb the AMT before it slams 19 million.

They passed a bill yesterday but there is no guarantee that the Senate will support it and it doesn't cover this the way it should be covered for protection of lower/middle income.

2. There is a new bill on the floor about the length of time a vote can
remain open ... lots of hollering going on right now! This could get good!
