[QUOTE="mark46, post: 76110634, member: 257078"] Let us understand the farce of Republican negotiations since the day Obama took office. There are exceptions, but on any major legislation, a well-intentional groups of senators from both parties talk and negotiate for weeks or months. They come to a deal. Then the leadership pressures them to vote against the compromise. Obama wasted many months negotiating the stimulus package and Obamacare. This was a huge waste of time. The worst of it was that Democrats ending up passing watered down legislation, incorporating most of Republican compromises. This time the chutzpah has been taken to a new level. They shook hands with the president, and celebrated the deal. After many weeks, Republicans accepted the proposal to increase revenue by beefing up the enforcement and collected branch of the IRS. Half the money would come from the stimulus package, The rest (the new money) would come from increased IRS enforcement. We might (and should) disagree on whether this would really collect the money. That is not the issue (for us or them). After all the celebration, OF COURSE, the leadership has directed its members to vote against the deal, and not to accept the proposal for increases in IRS enforcement. BOTTOM LINE We may go through this for another month or so, with revised bills being brought forward and voted down. The real question is how long Manchin will allow the charade to continue. After all, he can stop it at any point by agreeing to support the inclusion of the physical infrastructure money in the reconciliation bill (merging them back together). The separation was for Machin's benefit (and for Biden's). Somehow they thought that McConnell would fold, or that 10 Republicans would defy his orders (on anything). [/QUOTE]
