The taxes, cuts to medical programs, and other “money raising” devices take place immediately. Then we need 2/3 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate. It is not even possible to take a 2/3 Senate in 2010. So now we are talking about 2012 as the soonest. It will be two years later and the most onerous portions are still not in effect.
Yeah, so maybe the seniors will finally wise up for a change and vote with us this time.
