I'm glad it's over with, too, except for maybe the dregs of the mailings that went out by third class bulk snailmail and will arrive today and tomorrow! Happens every year because the stamplicking minions have no idea how slow that kind of mail is delivered.

Um ... taxes can't go up unless President Bush signs the legislation. Democrats, by themselves, cannot raise taxes, and lack the 2/3 majority to override a Presidential veto. Now it's time to see if 'bipartisan' plays any differently with a Democratic majority than a Republican one. Either way, there's a country that needs governance, folks.

Um ... he meant local taxes for California, such as sales taxes (which are on a county-by-county basis, above the state's own sales tax rate. Examples: LA county is 8.25%; Orange County is 7.75%); local increases on taxes on fuel [diesel, gasoline] and tobacco, et cetera. Those are state-level issues, and nothing to do with The White House. Either way, Californians issued the middle finger as their response to the thought of any prices raising this time around. That was the point. Sleep tight.
