In the words of the Senator from MN as a taxpayer I object...if this bill was so important that it has to pass before the end of the year the only thing that could possibly be even more on target than a vote on Christmas Eve would be a vote on Christmas Day. After all wouldn't the best present you can give the nations taxpayers is the knowledge that at least 60 senators can be bought and sold like stocks on the open market???????
