They are going to have a flexible career when we retire them to K Street.

And the “flexibility” from the White House is.....where?

The only "revenue" provisions I see in this bill so far are the closing of loopholes.

I don't see this as a problem if they are serious about lowering overall tax rates (and corporate tax rates to boot).

Of course, this plan will likely change once Durbin gets his dirty hands on it.

Senate Republicans are showing far more flexibility than their tea party-backed House colleagues...

Translation: the Senators are more willing to bend over and take it.

It’s the Senate that is wasting time on symbolic measures.

CCB has already passed the house.

And, momentum is gaining for its passage in the senate. That will leave obozo with the choice:

sign it and get a debt limit increase or
veto it and increase the intensity of the perceived crisis

Since he can only get people motivated by scaring them, my money is on a veto.

what’ll happen after the veto ... who knows

The Flexible GOP will bend as much as necessary to continue “business as usual” in DC. If they are willing to pass a bill with future spending cuts, why are they not willing to pass a bill with spending cuts NOW.

Flex this.

Cut Cap and Balance, take it or leave it! If you leave it, no debt ceiling increase.
