All the discussion seems to assume that Congress will "leave Washington at the end of next week." Isn't it nice to see their priorities -- vacation (or electioneering) first, and the public business if there is spare time?. Perhaps this is a reason that Congressmen, individually and collectively, have an approval rating hardly above the single digits. I suppose they assume that the lobbyists will stay behind to see the best legislation comes forth (now that their pension supplements from Fannie and Freddie are quiescent). Bah!
