Star Member kpete (71,082 posts)When you go into a Dennys with a gun & say gimme the money, if you just get breakfast that's a fail.Yes. These are real concessions. But when we say they cld have gotten as much thu normal budget negotiation (correct) that means the whole hostage taking accomplished nothing. When you go into a Dennys with a gun and say gimme the money, if you just get breakfast that’s a fail.@JHWeissmann·May 27My overall take:It's really an overstatement to say Republicans are getting nothing. (A two-year budget freeze in a high-inflation environment is something). But it's all stuff they could have just as easily gotten in a vanilla budget fight or Farm Bill reauthorization.Link to tweet?s=20https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217958890
You just get breakfast?
The Rs didn't get all they wanted, not that that was likely to happen. OTOH, Dems and other Proggies are howling about what the Rs did get. So everybody's angry about what they didn't get.
