One of the strangest aspects of Election 2012 is that voters are demanding change but didn't change politicians.

The Senate met in an unusual Saturday session to vote on two tax proposals doomed to fail from the start.

As the week unfolded, it appeared that the last days of the lame-duck session of Congress might well end in gridlock. Many issues had been left to the last days, but certainly the biggest issue was whether the so-called "Bush tax cuts" would be extended for not only the "middle class," but for those fabulously wealthy individuals who have the audacity to earn more than $250,000 a year -- the "wealthy."

The Senate and House spent much of this week behind closed doors discussing the tax deductions that will expire in a few weeks. These “Bush tax cuts” that became law in 2001 and 2003 number in the 60s.

The first of the two-legged, two-staged, lame-duck session of Congress begins Monday, and it consists of mostly wounded “ducks.” These winged fowl would love nothing more than to duck the huge legislative agenda that awaits them.
