Get GOP to think GOP's political life will be extended if they don't oppose it and afraid GOP's status will be injured if it does oppose it.
Easy.
The GOP won’t have anything to do with it. The RATS can put anything they want on the ballot, but the people won’t vote for it. And while the people will vote for any crazy spending or borrowing scheme, they won’t vote to increase taxes on themselves. So a year from now, the smoke will blow away and the mirrors will finally come crashing down.
