By next year, the results of this will be forgotten by most people. Next election, folks’ attention will be on something else.
So as long as it’s “resolved” by next year, repubs will be ok.
Look at just a few months ago - remember that continuing resolution to keep gov’t open when a shutdown was threatened? They didn’t shut it down, but the “cuts” they got were about 2 billion, not the orignially intended 60 billion.
Anyone complaining about that now?
“By next year, the results of this will be forgotten by most people. Next election, folks’ attention will be on something else”
All the more reason then to do the right thing now.
