But even that doesn't always work... Remember the bowl game against Wisconsin a few years ago? Down 30-something to 20-something at the en of the half Tech came back to score 40 some odd points and win.

This year will be a lot of fun. Right now, folks who have died with appreciated property will get carryover basis over, I think, about $1.3 million in gains. We have clients with basis issues in excess of that.

Congress will try and pass something retroactive, but that may be deemed unconstitutional. For anyone dying between yesterday and when Congress passes something, it is a crapshoot.

It has been difficult to advise people over the past month. No estate tax may not mean what it was intended to mean. [rant on](or it means exactly what it was intended to mean) [rant off]

I believe I have but one prior rant here...

Ex post facto laws have been unconstitutional for a long time.

That's not much of a rant.

House passed a bill and Senate passed a "statement of intention" that they would pass something. That should be fine, huh? :rolleyes:

Good, I want few priors when things go horribly wrong...

Very :rolleyes:. Like making an agreement to agree, it is pretty meaningless.

This may be blasphemy: C:rolleyes:nstitutionality? :rolleyes:

I gotta get some sleep. I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Sorry to leave mid-stream...

I gotta go too, late here in Texas.

P:rolleyes:sty p:rolleyes:st.
