I don’t agree. Something has to be done before the market opens Monday. The only way we can keep the bill from being a complete piece of crap is to keep the Rs involved.

However, it will be hard to keep the blame from going to the Rs and the credit from going to the Ds. The media will see to that.

I guess they could have gotten on their planes and gone home, but that would have been political suicide too.

There’s no good answer. Congress has to do something or we will be in a world of hurt.

The only way to avoid that would have been for the Republican leadership to come out against this bill and not vote for it. Now they're going to be painted as the ones who caused it and if it fails to do anything or makes it worse the Republicans are going to get the blame for making it worse.

Republicans got rolled.

So something or we’re in a world of hurt? You want your hurt now or a worse hurt later. Your kids and grandkids will suffer for this and a long list of other atrocities committed against the productive people of this society by a non-responsive corrupt Congress.
