What would you have asked for in return?

[rucky]

You're the President, and even if you wouldn't have in real life, you just made a deal with the Republicans for tax cuts. Except, instead of unemployment extensions in return, you demand the passage of something else.

One chance for something to pass as written. What would it be?

1. Single Payer or Medicare For All.

10. That's mine. Full price buy in for working people, sliding scale.

Tell the rich they're going to have to give up on those insurance stocks short term until the bastards start offering Medigap and long term care insurance.

2. My glitter farting unicorn!

DAMMIT!

[derby378]

3. Complete repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act

And not a moment too soon, either.

[Individualist]

4. If I were President...

there would be no deals with republicans. I'd run roughshod over them the way they've done the Democrats for years.

[Hawkeye-X]

5. Not a fucking thing. I would simply ask Senator Reid to invoke the nuclear option

And kick the Thugs out of the way while we FIX our tax problems and make it permanent - and a 25% tax increase on the rich unless they start bringing in jobs by the wazoo and paying a living wage, and agreeing to single payer health care. If Obama had the guts to do that, then he would have swept the entire United States in major landslide over any Rethuglicans and ensure a speedy extinction of the Rethuglican Party.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE THE PARTY OF NO, AND THE PARTY OF OBSTRUCTION - WHY WONT OBAMA GET IT?!

M I L Q U E T O A S T!

[Telly Savalas]

8. And Senator Reid would sheepishly bat his eyes at the President

and say "shore, I'll do anything you want!"

[stray cat]

6. What would you have gotten is a better question

[rucky]

7. But that's not where you start a negotiation. n/t

[rucky]

9. I think I'd break up big media

by repealing the Telecommunications Act.
