Reading Between The Lines Today On The Cable News Shows I Think I Know How This Will Resolve.....

I'm not for any compromise by PBO or the Dems - but I'm kind of hearing that the bone that might be thrown out to resolve this situation is - the tax on medical devices - being used as the bargaining chip.

Anybody else out there getting that vibe?

Nada, zip. You do not negotiate on whether or not we pay for what we have already spent.
Congress spent the money, and they are responsible for paying the debt for it, not the president.
Either they put up a clean bill, or we shut er down. Period!
