Some were asking how we could be so sure Chained CPI would never be accepted by Repukes
Look at today's vote on background checks. 90% of the public approves and we can't even get all the Democrats in the senate to support it much less the Repukes. As long as it's a bill proposed by President Obama, there is no chance of it ever getting out of congress.
President Obama realized this when he put forward Chained CPI. It was simply put out there to highlight Boener's proposal.
