Harry, you are whistling in the dark. \u00a0President Obama blew it when he ignored the Republicans in the fiscal cliff negotiations when the Republicans were prepared to compromise and did.\u00a0 The President reneged on his end of the bargain.\u00a0 Now that President Obama is back at the table, it appears the Republicans are blowing it themselves by passing a budget that rips Obamacare from the budget.\u00a0 That will never pass in the Senate.\u00a0 Even if it did, the President would veto it.\u00a0 Such utter nonsense.<\/p>\n
When are we going to get two Republicans and two Democrats (1 each from the House and Senate) and Jacob Lew to sit down and put a grand bargain together with an up or down vote in each house? \u00a0They could use the revised Simpson Bowles proposal or the United We Stand proposal as the starting point. \u00a0As Governor Christie indicated, don\u2019t let them out of the room until they have agreed on a plan.<\/p>\n
