I don't worry. It's not in my nature. I state facts and then wonder what will happen next. "Big-spending budget pact rattles markets, threatens 'next fiscal crisis' Congress agreed on a spending plan late that increases discretionary spending by $300 billion. The new budget helped end a very brief government shutdown but raises questions about fiscal stability. Debt will increase by $420 billion over the next 10 years, pushing the budget deficit above $2 trillion, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget. Stocks struggled through another whipsaw day of trading following the agreement. I thought we'd need a recession to push us up to $2 trillion deficits but the Committee for a Responsible Budget says the tax cut and new spending will do it. Fun stuff. Btw, facts are not whines. A whine is when republicans say they have a better health care plan for seven years but they really didn't have anything. They epitomize endless whining.
