they will get the tax cut that year but in ten years a smaller percentage of that 90% will see a tax cut. all of these things are the sausage gets made in washington in an incredibly ugly way and as that tinkering process is going on, the trading, the corker handout and then the not corker handout, all of these things that happen, you ultimately often forget the messaging component and how it s being reported to mats. you need two parallel projects of communicating what you want to achieve and building popularity in the public while also hammering out the details of the bill which is the difficult part. it is a difficult part as we know, the sausage is never pretty, that we know. the democrats are running with it saying we didn t have a hand this, we couldn t do anything. that seems like a cop out. could democrats have tried a little harder here? tried to do what? to influence the bill?
