Nation's wisest decided what was best for all

Big game ends in overtime. Score: Elephants won, Donkeys zero. With referee Barack Obama spending his time looking for his whistle, the nation's wisest decided what was best for all, pointing to the new economics that says too much income is bad, the millionaires, billionaires, and the corporations keep their discounted tax rate, and loopholes remain open.

I thought maybe someone would explain to us peons why Bernie Madoff is in prison for pilfering people's money, while our Society Security bank account was spent by our congressmen we keep re-electing, instead of accounting for it. Same thing. The same people moved it to the general fund to grease their sticky fingers.

But the bright side. The bare food pantries will give people time to clean and dust the shelves, cuts in Medicaid and Medicare will give the medical profession more time to enjoy life. Moving jobs and equipment overseas could help ocean freighters who transport it. Those who do have a savings can continue to earn 1 percent or less, easing the income tax load, and with unemployment more than 9 percent, people who look all day for work, and those who have two or three jobs to survive, they save fees at an exercise gym.
