The government’s back in business. Woohoo. As if we should all congratulate members of Congress for doing their jobs. Sort of. The politicians‚ of course‚ will congratulate themselves for ending the budget impasse that began on Oct. 1‚ as if they’ve accomplished something other than shaving already-weak economic growth by several basis points and trashing what’s left of America’s global reputation.
