1. I say yes. I say he wanted to have *something* on the table first

Once there, I think he plans to modify it (as the economy improves). If we give the man 2 terms, he will do this. I think he'll do it even before.

3. Better do it before November... Tick Tock....

I also think this is something that can go through reconciliation. It will not happen otherwise.
