If the differences are very modest, and swift passage is important, in his shoes I’d give the other side much of the modest modifications it asks, get a landslide positive vote for the measure in the Senate, and sign it into law promptly. After all, what they’ll sign off on is only a very modest distance from me getting it all my way. And I don’t aspire to having everything exactly my way all the time.

NO, NO, NO… I’ll report this from a pervious thread…

You know what’s going to happen. They’re not going to remove much from that bill, but they will PUT IN stuff the Republicans want, and when it’s all done, the bill will have 300-400 MORE billions in it.

And the Republicans will let that fly. You watch. Why, because the bottom line is special interests have both sides in their pocket, and the Republicans will simply be paying off their friends, and it will look the the Dems are doing it.

But, tons of Americans will say, well, it’s a better bill, it’s now bipartisan, it’s… it’s…

It’s an illusion, and you all are falling for the trick.
