if they can get it done this week and next week finally. what is tougher for republicans? would it be easier on raising the rate for the rich but not quite the 39.6%. raising the amount we start raising the tax, 400 or 350? i think it s that which one, rate change or the level at which the level with which at which you raise that number. from 250 to 400. even the democrats are in that room saying, we could probably look at $500,000 or $1 million. i think that s number one. i think also the president is going to be having to deal with something that senator durbin recognized. we re going to have to give at some point on the entitlement front. they re just stalling that eventual outcome. boehner has a few cards he can play. he wants to quiet the noise on his side. you talked and joy rev renned why does he always say what he s saying publicly? that s to make sure that people know, look, this is still important for us. but he gets inside the room and he s negotiating a deal.
