What’s ahead in this new year? 2016 will be the year of Boris Johnson and J Lo, of the Fed boomerang and the videogame movie. It will be the year of eSports, lawsuits, ’80s throwbacks, 2-in-1 laptops, marijuana, telemedicine and ACOs, the un-diet, and virtual reality.

May old encumbrance be forgot, and never brought to mind . . ”
– Singer and retired Federal employee Joe Hickerson.
WASHINGTON, DC, October 1 — Today Federal employees throughout the Washington region and across the country observe their traditional holiday, the Fiscal New Year. Fiscal 2015 ended at midnight last night; today is the start of Fiscal Year 2016 (FY 2016 for short).
The weeks leading up to Fiscal New Year’s Eve were hectic with preparation of the Continuing Resolution. The “CR” is last-minute stopgap legislation allowing the federal government to function despite the resolute obstructionism of our Tea-Party-Republicans in Congress. It provides a few months of funding for the activities of the civil servants who do the work citizens actually need while politicians bloviate about petty, symbolic issues to distract the media and voters.
From Capitol Hill, a Safe & Happy FY 2016 to you and yours.

Happy New Year, rich people. The GOP Congress is in and the laws of mathematics are out, so the fix is in for people of wealth. Poor and middle class wage earners will pay for even more tax cuts for The One Percent. Ring out Neo-Conservatism and ring in Neo-Feudalism!
