No, not something that they know and I don’t. It’s something I know and you don’t. Context is everything. We haven’t been talking about the budget as a whole, we’ve been talking about a single proposal. And this particular proposal is one that would replace one tax expenditure with another. Not new spending.
It’s now a dead deal. It shouldn’t be. But Obama is a realist. He knows how politics work. And this small proposal wasn’t worth the fight. And he knows at this point he’s just as likely to get what he wants with new spending. Though neither are too likely. Republicans in congress never met a tax cut they didn’t like. Unless it benefits low and middle income taxpayers. And this one does.[/quote]LoL, just saying you know something doesn’t make it true. But whatever. It’s dead now. Just like SCA-5.
