re: #287 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
Even if the Senate Repubs somehow manage to win over the handful of Senate Dems necessary to pass the bill, there’s no way they’re going to pull together a the votes in either chamber to override a veto. This bill is as good as dead, but it will be an excellent weapon to put Senate Repubs on record as supporting the dismantling of Medicare to finance yet another tax giveaway to the top 1%.
I hope Reid gives him six voters so Obama CAN veto it. Imagine campaigning against a president who used his veto power to “save Medicare.” Good night, opponents.
