That plus their invention of a 13th month of the fiscal year is pretty incredible. They seem hell-bent on appearing ridiculous. This is made to order for Clinton. Not only is he going to get his way on the tax bill (which died last week), but he'll probably get them to cave on the appropriations bills too. Net result is oodles of debt reduction, as predicted not too long ago.
