A year ago the EU was given permission to impose tariffs on AMerican goods if America didn't end certain export subsidies.

To head off the tariffs, Congress eliminated the export subsidies, but decided to cut general corporate taxes. Everything became a $150 lobbyist free for all.

The Senate and House have concluded their bills, the Senate had wanted to cut the tax break for buying Hummers, the House wouldn't go along.

Oh what a wonderful government we have . . .
