Congrats, you are one of the few who understands the subtlety of what McConnell has achieved.
When Bush signed the tax cuts, they were temporary. Which means the democraps can let them expire and not be accused of raising taxes. Now they are PERMANENT, which means if they try to increase them, IT WILL BE A TAX INCREASE transparent and obvious.

Exactly. Considering that the Pub leverage was minimal, I believe they did better than I expected they could in getting some concessions. It could have been a lot worse.
