Is that sad-sack gaggle of geldings EVER clear about what it thinks it's bargaining for? The GOPers are the Chicago Cubs of politics. At the end of the day you just KNOW they'll be on the losing end.
I say give the dems what they want. May be hold out for $500,000.00 And up. Hell they voted for Obama anyway take their money. Don’t do anything about entitlements. Let the dems own this. The US has smoked the hopium and with a compliant media there is nothing the repubs can do to sober them up. There’s a force that can tho....the markets. The last thing traders want to see is tax increases with no reforms. Rates will go up. Equities down and a lower GDP. Let Obama and the dems keep marching forward through that. They may learn the axiom be careful what you wish for.
