a lot of his Democratic colleagues are throwing out trial balloons on Chained CPI, yet again, plus Obama put it in his 2014 Budget proposal. When collecting video clips of every single Democratic leader voicing support for Chained CPI, Reid was the only one I couldn't find a clip on. I also found it very curious when he recently showed the newspaper clipping he's been carrying in his wallet for many years, and it had to do with Republicans being wrong about Medicare. So not only is Reid battling with Republicans on this issue, the Democratic leadership would also like to make these cuts. I've often wondered if this is why he won't change the Senate filibuster rules. I'm very encouraged to see him say publicly, there will be no Grand Bargain. I gave up hope long ago with the Third Way leadership of our party, but damn if Harry didn't just instill a little bit of hope in my thoughts.
