Congress is ignoring that it has only nine months to head off sequestration and the economic “perfect storm” looming in December. Remember, it’s an election year, which probably means a lame-duck session in December will have to pass fiscal 2013 appropriations bills wrapped in a continuing resolution, raise the debt limit, and deal with the required $1.2 trillion in debt reduction over the next 10 years — or pass some tax proposal that would replace the Dec. 31 end of all the George W.
