But now that the booby-trapped tax bill has been signed into law, congressional Democrats have to accept the permanent cuts, or else be accused of raising taxes in 2011.

We accept all of them. Anyone who has the guts to come over here deserves an opportunity. For many of these kids it’s their first paid job and none of them have ever painted on a wall before.
