re: #69 Killgore Trout

Yeah, it’s not too bad. I would think that with all the drama and hype there might be bigger concessions involved with Chained CPI, medicare, etc but I guess we’ll see how this pans out soon.

They’re probably figuring that stuff will be the subject of the talks that the White House and Congress want to have, so why try to jump the gun? Get the CR/DL mess cleared off the deck and at least an agreement in principle to talk, then begin the real work of hashing out a long-term deal.
