So, considering Republicans got most of what they wanted (BBA aside), being at least a dollar for dollar match to the debt ceiling increase as the deficit reduction (I figure you don't buy the accounting behind the $900+b now, but I think we can both agree the cuts in dollars will be more than that after the "super congress" makes their recommendations), do you think this whole thing was another DC charade or were members of the house genuinely willing at some point to let the deadline pass if they didn't get what they wanted? Whether it be the TP caucus with the BBA or the progressive caucus with tax increases.
But, I'm speaking in ideal terms here, I recognize that most legislation starts off with a genuine purpose before getting hacked and re-written into costly uselessness before it gets passed.
