It's so straight forward, yet the Republicans don't want to fund it. Sure Obama caved, but he wouldn't have if the House was controlled by Dems.

I think the third way stuff has been about compromising with Republicans, mainly so that we attract independent voters. However, in this case it won't appeal to independents.

But you state the problem very clearly. In the 1970s, this was never an issue.
