tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/01/reid-tips-his-hand-over-dems-sequester-strategy.php?ref=fpnewsfeedThis is another way of saying the Democrats will attempt to clarify both the stakes and the parties’ positions to voters and incumbent interests — to signal to voters that Republicans would rather cut spending on programs for the poor than raise even a small amount of revenue by ending subsidies for oil companies; and to signal to the defense industry leaders that their long-time GOP allies will abandon them rather than tax oil companies even a little bit. In fact, Republicans’ position amounts to telling defense contractors that they’ll happily threaten their profits unless Democrats agree to cut social insurance programs.

The 'Pubbies have run off the cliff repeatedly now. I don't see any reason the Democrats shouldn't allow them to do it again.

Man, the whole political process has been hijacked by extremist. It's no wonder so little is getting done.
