advantage of global growth in the economy. they are sitting on cash. they won t spend on property. businesses usually budget in october. they still president cay budget. they still can t budget. they will push this into some temporary extension which will mean businesses still can t budget. that will be a little more insulting. that is not very heroic. what i ask both sides to do now is just bridge the dog mat particular gaps. stop them altogether and get back to the key areas. elections of consequence will have to raise the top rate, so be it. but i am arguing that democrats get off their high horse about not even addressing entitlements. there has to be a give and take here. the american people have to sense the give and take and the american people have to sense that, and there is nothing remotely resembling that right now. here is the ironic thing. what if they get a deal?
