"B) Worse comes to worse: Pass a short-term extension, but *not* on the terms required by Obama for extending the "Gang of Six" talks. Call Obama's bluff... yet again."
"If we have an extension of say 90 days... why would omarxist not be working on a grand deal during said 90 days? What terms are there that would prevent it?"
- Basically, you would front-load the immediate cuts, and a bulk of the Trillion, or so agreed-upon "Biden talks" cuts, in the short-term deal (and specifically leave out as many terms Obama wants that you feel would be a hindrance in the future). Then, even if Obama and the RINOs worked on a "grand deal" after that, they would be forced to come up with new cuts to get any kind of agreement down the road.
Throw a wrench in his plans, basically. The American people are tired of being on the edge all the time, and stressed out... This is our final offer- take it, or the default's on you.
HA
part of the grand bargain would be to rescind the short term cuts and instill a more reasonable, balanced, and bipartisan deal.
i still say no short term deal. Take CCB or CC and save the bba. fight again after we destroy them in 2012 again.
jmho though
That's probably the best argument to put forth.
