The rats are negotiating like the north Koreans.
They have no intention of agreeing on anything.
They have the automatic cuts that will kick in on Nov 23 if the impasse isn’t resolved.
So they are just going through the motions to run out the clock. Then they get their massive cuts in military spending. Don’t forget that the rats loathe the military.
And the repubbys went into this thinking that they were going to be negotiating with honest brokers.
Lucy/football again.
It’s because the “cuts” in Medicare are not really cuts. They are the payment adjustments that get rescinded every year anyway.
I'm much more harsh than you. I don't believe there is anyone in DC who thought these scum-bags would be honest brokers as they NEVER have been for at least 3 decades that I've been paying attention. This BS Super Committee was set up knowing this would be the outcome.
