    What say you, Briefers?
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

It will pass in December. 
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Except no one really knows for sure what's in it.  I keep hearing the usual Democrats --" it will hurt the middle class" line and the Republicans -- "it will benefit the middle/working class" line -- but this is going to be another one of those "we have to pass it to know what's in it" things before we know who is right.  I truly resent our elected representatives assuming they know what's best for us and thinking we would be too stupid to understand the legislation.  Whatever happened to all those pledges of transparency? 

The way I figure -- whatever slapdash piece of karp legislation they pass -- someone will get hurt by it and it will only make a terrible system worse.  Trump and the Republicans need a win. so they will pass and sign anything, call it "tax reform" and pat themselves on the back, declaring they kept their promise to the voters. 

Sorry, but I don't have the optimism you have.  I've been lied to one too many times.

Something will pass in December, but it won’t be reform in any sense of the word.

A picture. Just hit flush and turn the light out when you leave.
