If it passes the House, the Senate has to pass it and Obama has to sign it.

Otherwise, the GOP can change the narrative. This is too nuanced to get the average American to understand/care

So you reinstate the subsidy for aides (but not Members of Congress) during the next round.

- Right now, the public blames Congressional GOP for this mess (at least more than they blame anyone else) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:56 11

    - Probably not, but this is basically the last ouvre before default. It defined the talking points for when people WILL all pay attention if we default -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:02
  - The House has already passed a bunch of bills the Senate isn't touching. This would be the same. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 13:58 5
    - Right. I think it depends on the content of the bill. If the public views it as reasonable, opinion may start to shift. Otherwise it's more - pmb Oct 15, 14:00 1
      - My understanding is that it's basically short term CR, short term debt limit, Vitter amdnt. That's it. - ty97 Oct 15, 14:03
    - But we are near deadline and there's high focus. Killing it by not touching it is the same as voting it down. 'The Dems did it' -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59 2
      - So then, if we go over the debt cliff, it's "the Dem's fault" -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        (mind you, I'm not saying it is: I'm saying how it plays easily to the sheeple. The GOP is very good at manipulating lazy minded public opinion) -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:01
  - this is a great point, but I think the o admin could spin rejecting a bill that was BS. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:56 2
    - I think they can try, and it may protect some damage, but not sure how much (definitely not all) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:58 1
      - Passing it also sends a message that they Dems aren't the predictable pushovers the GOP hopes for. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59
