Estate Tax Legislation Snowed In


In the good old days, before air conditioning, "less government" happened every summer because Washington, D.C. was too darn hot. Now it's snow that closes things down in the winter. The House of Representatives is taking snow days the rest of this week, to be followed by a vacation next week.

Senate leaders are working on the jobs bill, and last night it looked like an estate-tax extension might be tacked on in order to attract Republican supp0rt. No such luck. This morning Senator Reid announced the bill would not include an estate-tax fix.

We'll see what happens with the estate tax in the end. Still being debated in back rooms, I'm sure.
