Thank you for your astute observations. I have a question, other than trying to push a bad deal through Congress, why is there so much pressure to make a deal in record time? There seems to be a huge drop dead deadline for this weekend. Am I missing something? I don’t mean to sound misinformed, but what is suppose to happen if this deal doesn’t go through?

Someone somewhere stands to make a huge amount of money on it.
