Debt Ceiling Compromise Reached, Government Cube Workers and Staffers Held Hostage During Debate Released

Fox News - President Obama announced Sunday night that leaders of both parties in both chambers have reached an agreement on a debt-reduction deal that will "lift the cloud of uncertainty that hangs over our economy" and prevent the nation from potentially defaulting on the nation's financial obligations.

Thank god. To the relief of hundreds, if not thousands of fellow common people, our long national nighmare is over...I'm of course talking about the poor interns and congressional office staffers who were basically held hostage over this debt ceiling issue. Cube life at its absolute worst, working non-stop through the weekends, developing carpel tunnel typing, and re-typing dozens of drafts of the same 1,000 + page bill, all to come to the conclusion that any sane minded person could have come to last week.

Talk about government waste and inefficiency...you mean to tell me they couldn't have struck that compromise Friday afternoon and let these people go home for the weekend, enjoy a BBQ or two, maybe play a little Polish horseshoes? I mean have you read the details? They agreed to basically: A) Raise the debt ceiling, ending fear of default, and B) Agreed to deal with issues like spending cuts and revenue increases at a later date...So it took them all freaking weekend to agree to procrastinate some more? And then they wanna get up on tv and pat each others backs? An outrage and a travesty for the common cube worker.  And I thought I had it bad eating at my desk every day.
