if you see longer lines for tsa to get through an airport, if you don't see the dreadful consequences that the administration is talking about, they could be they could overplay their hands. one interesting thing to look at as the debate unfolds in the next week or month, is if the administration makes an arguen't about the small ball issue. this is small in the context of the broader debate when we don't deal with the bigger issues. we know the entitlement drive the debt and we know the president hasn't done much. he hasn't put out paper proposals about reforming medicare, medicaid, social security. you had debbie stabenow today rejecting changes to medicare. that will be the big question. can republicans turn and make it about the big issue to say the president isn't, can't cut $40 billion in domestic discretionary funding how can we count on him to deal with these big issues?
