        It's called the Deficit Reduction Act, but it's really a gimic to protect tax cuts. That's Washington for you.

          These reductions in fiscal year '06 spending shouldn't be confused with the budget for fiscal year '07 that Bush just released.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Crap

            After not being able to keep on budget in the last three years

            I owe a lot now on my Federal Loans

            and I am betting that the interest rate will go up as a result of this.. (really low right now)

            (not that I pay interest right now, but the interest rate I will pay when I have to start paying them will go up)
