A very happy Friday to you, snackers! I’m sorry to say that we’ve got some more rough news out of Congress, looking ahead at possible budget proposals in a lame duck session, and  some concerning news on the economy as well. Hopefully we’ll have some “sweeter” snacks next week!

  • This year’s lame duck session will likely lead to another destructive vote on the budget and the debt limit, Daily Signal
  • The rosy news about the economy continues to flow from most of the main stream media sources, but US layoffs increased 38% last month, Conservative Review
