Comunicas.- Something important happened this week: Republican leaders in Congress finally came out for something. Don’t knock it. This is progress. We know what they’re against: anything President Obama is for. He’s for tax breaks for small business; they’re against ‘em. He’s for extending unemployment benefits; they’re against it.

Comunicas.- So General Motors is back to making billions in profit. And if the past is any guide, we know what that means: time for some layoffs! Or maybe not.
