After telling us how the economy is going to go nuclear and how we're all gonna die from it, your friendly Federal government is back in action today after taking off for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Hey, what's a little impending doom when a politician can get a day off that no one else does, right?
Especially when they're helping to cause said doom.

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."
Isn't that just lovely?
