Finally a yes vote, but what price?

I was initially happy to get that Able yes vote, but the more I look at the details, the more annoyed I get.
I don't want to parse it here and now, but I think there are larger issues at play in the land.
It is curious that no one is going to trial for some of the excesses on the national scene, and no one seems to be paying anything more than HOME ARREST, ie., Bernie Maddoff. Wouldn't you think his ass would be slapped in jail by now?
I find Bill Maher to be a real jackass, and his new show last night really affirmed that, but finally at the end, he put it on the line...some people need to be held responsible...like executed! Or at least have a hand chopped off, or maybe fingers, digit by digit.
And get them out of their damn penthouses!!! How are they paying the rent with other peoples money!
