Now that the shouting is over and I have listened to pundits from both sides of the aisle on what they think they have accomplished, it made me think of a scenario like this:

A farmer has this barn. In this barn activities happen that makes a living for the farm family. Since it is a barn, the income most likely involves livestock.

Now it seems to me that all the lawmakers have done is run around the barn in different directions. Things inside are essentially the same and there is still a lot of manure because they have done little or nothing to clean it out.
