I think you’re onto something here. I would suggest however building in some more conditions like you did in the 200B part. That is, attach a couple more conditions to each of the 5/4/3 increases. The 500B, for example, should have some type of curb on Obamacare. Then add other desirable economic concessions to the remaining two parts.
Possibly, but we have to keep it simple. If not Keystone, then maybe something else, but keep it simple. It has to be a no-brainer, and I think KXL is about as no-brainer as it gets. Even the State Dept says it’s a no-brainer. It’s the simplest, dumbest policy decision of the Administration.
Attaching Obamacare conditions to the DebtCeiling has potentially disastrous consequences for us, for The Demagogues, and for America. Is this where the conservative movement wants to make its last stand...? It’s a negative sum game.
