Starting the new year hanging on for dear life
Happy New Year. I see the Senate doesn't want us to fall completely off the cliff. It's up to the House of Representatives later today to complete the deal. Personally, I don't hold out too much hope for those idiots. I also see payroll taxes are going up, so as of today my little paycheck got even smaller.
