117. You have confidence in those Republican-chaired committees

fighting the good fight for the 99% vs the policies written by the CEOs? God bless.

We can revisit this once it comes up for a vote. I'm sure the righteous few in Congress will galvanize against it if its that bad. Just like they galvanized against the Patriot Act.

I can see the headlines : "President Obama and a majority in Congress (Republicans) are all for it. Only the Commies are against it. Flag, Truck, Eagle !!! Your no vote means you are a Communist. Why do you hate America?"

I've watched this movie far too long. I'm glad you are confident that these secret agreements are carefully guarding the interests of average working-class Democrats.

You never know, they could come up with progressive tax rates and quintupling the minimum wage as a result. We don't know yet, so anything is possible. Let's just 'wait and see.'
