The Olden Days

Dick Cheney is bragging that he cast the deciding vote for the Bush Tax Cuts.

The surprise here isn't that Dick Cheney was either incredibly stupid enough or flat-out didn't give a shit about fucking over most of the country and sending the economy into the oblivion we're still suffering from. Nor is it a surprise that apparently Dick Cheney is either STILL stupid enough to believe these tax cuts were a good thing or simply doesn't give a shit despite watching the economy go down the shitter.

But seriously - can anybody here remember a time when a bill could receive a 50-50 vote with a tie-breaker and then actually be enacted? Really? When was this, the middle ages? It didn't need 90 votes? Wtf?
