re: #226 Dark_Falcon
It’s not a desirable outcome, but its the only one I see working right now. Things are too hostile and toxic to reach a deal right now, and until some cool-off time has passed nothing will change. I don’t like this idea, Gus, because I’d prefer a deal, really I would. But it is not possible at the moment, given the politics of the issue.
The bottom line or the greatest sticking point is the Bush tax cuts. It’s time the GOP stopped being in denial about this. The Bush tax cuts for the upper earners has to come to an end. Wars aren’t free.
