Look at it this way. Instead of giving Chuckie Schumer 7% more than you wanted to give him, he's getting 10% less than he wanted.

What I've read on the other thread is that the split is 60/40.

I think that may have been a bunch of wishfull thinking.... this article seems to indicate otherwise.... but in either case the democrats got more than previous minorities prior to the 107th.....

Them republicans are neogiating fools....

That was just his initial negotiating position.

When the Democrats use that kind of math to call a lower rate of government expansion a "budget cut," we call them spinning liars.

The Democrats were entitled to 33%. They asked for a 17% increase to 50%. The settled for a 7% increase to 40%.

They got more than they started with, we got less. They won, we lost.

If we had offered them 20% (instead of 33%), and they had settled for 25%, would we have lost?
