RE :” only ‘spent’ a cool tril and look, we even have cash leftover to cut payroll taxes of unemployment checks, win/win...”

Not to break out the champagne but it looks like Obama and Dems caved in. They were threatening a shutdown to get the payroll/FICA/SS tax cut extensions and unemployment comp and appear to have given them both up. If this post is correct they must come back to the table to get those two.

Of course those two ARE popular voter give-aways (that cost a lot) which is why Obama is pushing them.

nah, just lets the servants have their 'holiday' break...

when they come back, right up to iowa primary, they can demagouge the unemployment payroll tax cuts and leverage that against keystone for a month or two of kabuki, keepin both in limbo until the next 'compromise'...
