Yes he wants a short term deal so he can open the door again - when the short term deal runs out - to a “grand compromise”
I say give them something to pass w/ cuts - like CCB without the amendment - and take it all the way to election.
Easing off on the amendment will be seen as compromise - helping w/ the media battle. And taking it to the election keeps the bungler from opening the door to further increases or new tax hikes.
Does anyone know where I can view the video or the transcript from last nights vote.
