Cheney plays Scrooge

On Wednesday, Vice President Dick Cheney (who gives a whole new meaning to the "Vice" part of his title) cast the deciding vote for passage of a bill to cut federal deficits. [Read story.]

This is a reverse-Robin-Hood kind of legislation, locking in tax cuts for the wealthest few folks in this country while taking billions of dollars away from Medicaid, Medicare, and student loans.

Merry Fucking Christmas.
