an "all-or-nothing" choice.

same question I raised to Jack below - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:57 5
- I'm ignoring the unemployment question altogether, and focusing solely on their approach to the tax cut issue. - znufrii Dec 9, 06:59 4
  - They included the middle option. That's 1 primary difference, yes. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:07 3
    - and all I'm saying is that the false dilemma explains the difference. The results are not comparable as they are not actually asking the same question - znufrii Dec 9, 07:10 2
      - I understand. Jack's use of the word "hostage package" above made me think both of you were including the unemployment benefits + the tax extension. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:14 1
        
        My mistake was assuming you and Jack were coming from the same angle. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:19
