Still, the poutrage about chained-CPI is likely to play into President Obama's hand. Jonathan Chait thinks the strategy of including it in a budget proposal is meant to shake up the media narrative he describes as "BipartisanThink" - in which both sides are blamed for intransigence. Outrage from the left helps cement the fact that one side is willing to make the difficult concessions that are necessary for compromise while we wait to see if anyone in the opposition is capable of doing so

thank you for the link regarding the President's pre-K Plan!
