Thanks mdittmar.

The only people who feel there shouldn’t be more coming in to the federal government from the rich people are the Republicans in the Congress... Everybody else, including the rich people, are willing to pay more. They want to pay more... You keep talking about Medicare and Social Security. Get something else in your brain. Stop talking about that. That is not going to happen this time. There is not going to be a grand bargain... What we need to do is have Murray and her counterpart in the House, Ryan, work together to come up with something to get out of this senseless sequestration and start the budgeting process so that we can do normal appropriation bills... They have their mind set on doing nothing, nothing more on revenue, and until they get off that kick, there's not going to be a grand bargain on -- there’s not going to be a small bargain... We're just going to have to do something to work our way through sequestration.
