If lawmakers have any time or energy once they stop arguing about the budget and transportation, they'll likely spend it on bills that would "reform" the death penalty, legalize gambling, and charge residents for nuclear power reactors that haven't been built yet.

It won't solve the deficit – an additional day of booze revenues would only generate $4.8 million in taxes – but it would at least provide more options for drinking away your economic sorrows.
