"Toontime: Washington Follies

[credit: Tony Auth]

All the psychodrama within the Beltway only resulted in a decision to kick the economy down the road until January 15th (budget) and February 7th (debt limit) when the follies which politicos seem to relish because it brings in money can begin again. Ordinary Americans largely blame the Repugnants for holding the US economy hostage to "tea party" demands for repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act. Like clockwork, after a last minute deal was reached, the stock market hit a new high, but there will be hell to pay if the rest of the world finally gets fed up with Washington's stunts and decides the dollar is no longer the indispensable currency.
