On the Congressional Debacle

I see the Republicans are trying to take the money needed to stimulate the economy, not out of the pockets of millionaires, but rather from the pay of our troops, the Veterans Administration people trying to heal the wounded soldiers, the air traffic controllers, the public health offices of the Center for Disease Control, and postal workers. They seem willing to shut down the government this weekend if they don't get their way. I hope you don't need your social security payment for Christmas shopping!

I read that "A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday found Obama dramatically expanding his advantage over Mitt Romney to 8 percentage points, up from a 1-point deficit in early November, and leading Republican frontrunner Newt Gingrich by 13 points." Do you wonder why?
