I think we should take the short term deal now that cuts to Obamacare is off the table .. [View all]

We have already given everything up we can - so there isn't much more that pukes can get ...

So I think this is really a face saving maneuver for them and we should let them.

If they act smart -then we are back to where we currently are and the ball will be back in their court.

Agree?
