... and 22 December is practically the annual Christmas/Year-end furlough, so you're good if Congress goes nuclear for 2 weeks!

"You're going to have to cut defense spending."
"I thought you said I'd have to cut entitlements, which is it?"
"You have to do that, too!"
"I don't have time for this, I need to work on my reelection campaign... figure it out yourself, Mr. Meeseeks."
"Hey, Paul, we need to focus on the task at hand... It's gettin' kinda wieeeeeeerd for me..."
