some here seem to be back to their full negative mode.

They may want to wait, though, as the crisis is not yet finished and some people are suffering right now.

What concerns me is the continuing rhetoric by the GOP that they want cuts. And in the second sentence they talk about entitlements which I assume include Social Security and Medicare. I do not see a definitely no from Obama. He suggested the grand bargain and included the chained CPI in the original. The public does not know any of the particulars being discussed in these meetings.

and giving in to someone with no exit strategy makes you look dumber than they are! Just my theory.

unless the Republicans are the wolves and they will drag them to glue factories.

Your overamped metaphors are hard to keep track of.
