“Play On – The NHL playoffs are under way. The Red Wings were clipped, the Sharks sunk, the Canucks cannot, and the Penguins were iced. In Washington, fans are holding their breath. Will the Caps grind out a win over the defending champion Bruins, or will they suffer yet another early exit? Meanwhile, there is plenty of action away from the ice. Both parties continue to play off of each other when it comes to fiscal matters. The same excuses and insults are shot back at one another like a hockey puck, with no one seemingly aiming for the net.”

“What the Bunny Left Behind – We’ve given up on giving things up for Lent, Passover will be passing, and the Easter Bunny has hopped into the pastel sunset. Yet, plenty of tasty goodies have been left behind. Likewise, legislators left plenty in their wake as they rushed home for the holidays, though nothing very sweet. Congress was out last week and remains in recess this week. Lawmakers will then return to some unfinished fiscal business. Easter eggs are wondrous things – colorful and full of surprises. They can be found in unexpected places. You never know what you will find inside the plastic shell until you open it up. But sometimes what you find is disappointing – candy that you don’t like, or in the most disheartening cases, nothing at all. The hunt is often the best part – the exhilaration of finding hidden treasure where no one else dared to look. We are currently in the middle of such a hunt. Perhaps we will discover that the answers to our fiscal problems aren’t hidden at all…that they are right in front of us. Hidden in clear sight, they simply are not colorfully wrapped. Maybe we will find that by putting our eggs together, we can uncover what we are looking for.”

“The answer is that adherence to ideological purity is a surefire way to fail. Republicans and Democrats alike will find that using the rubric established by CRFB, they really cannot accomplish that goal without diverging in a considerable way from party orthodoxy.”

“Mad, Mad World – There’s enough madness in DC to go around. Lawmakers from opposite parties seem perpetually angry at each other, yet they are moving in lockstep towards what Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently called a “fiscal cliff” at the end of the year. And expecting Congress to adopt a budget has become akin to picking a 16th seed to win. Unlike the big tourney, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to this madness.”
