Some last thoughts on the lame-duck session

Harry Reid was right to admonish Reps. Cantor and Boehner for their whining about having to work two weeks before Christmas.  

Maybe if ya didn't filibuster everything, including whether to have frenchfries or salad with your lunch you might have had that extra week off.  That's your own damn fault, you chose to have those filibusters.  As my Mom and Grandma would say, you made your bed, now lie in it.

The simple fact is that only kids and college students get long Christmas breaks, and that option is not available for many working people, doctors, police, firefighters, nurses, grocery workers, waiters and waitresses... the list goes on.  Teachers get some time off then but they have work like lesson planning and tests or papers to grade.   You chose to not do your job , with more than 80filibusters this year between campaigning, making commercials and God knows what else.
