#2 Buried in the bill is the senate tax nuclear option which allows tax increases to pass with a simple majority. I have a feeling that will come back to hurt everyone.

#3 "Capitulation" possibly, but a fight over the budge right now would divert attention from the sinking ship of Obamacare. All eyes must remained fixed on the primary target, as the screws become visible and the stern slips beneath the swirling waves. If the seizure and theft of one-sixth of the economy cannot be averted, little else matters.

#4 Now that's an interesting take Besoeker. I figure the gigantic powered ~~shit~~ honey barge that is the PCU ObamaCare needs at least 2 more torpedoes. When the first enrollies (with no card) stagger into the ER will be one, that should be what, Feb-March? The second will be late, the cancellations and changes of employer provided care.

#7 I'm conflicted. I agree with Besoeker in that I want Obamacare to be front and center. If that goes badly enough the Republicans gain lots of seats and can fix the budget next year.

If we sequester again that will be 24/7 on the news shows.
