A HUGE Lesson to be learned going forward:
NEVER be afraid of, or cower to extreme Republican, conservative ideas again! Much of the bile they spew are things said only for effect and when it comes to voting on extreme ideas, they really do fear the reaction of their constituents.
A case in point will be the proposed new round of tax cuts on the uber rich. Don't be afraid of saying, we have a huge deficit, states, are having a hard time paying for education, roads, etc., and the rich have already had large tax cuts over the past 40 years! Only takes a few Republicans to reject extremism.
