“They were extended permanently, something Republicans wanted but couldn’t do in the 10 years since they originally passed”
Bingo,
check, check, and checkmate.
There are a few libs whining that O gave up too much with the debt limit and giving up on the $250K figure with the $450K, but for the most part they are pulling together and calling it a victory for him.
They know they have to stick together to beat Rs on this, and they are watching the R party fighting each other and they are having a big laugh over it. The Dems work together as a team.
If Rs want to beat O they should try WINNING elections.
