Shutdown avoided, White House, Congress cheer deal

The Prof said:
For EPA, climate tough in Senate - Robin Bravender - POLITICO.com

they're led by senator rockefeller from west virginia

do you know the great grandson of john david and nephew of nelson?

senator rockefeller is one of the most progressive voices in reid's roundhouse, he was probably msnbc's most frequent senate guest during the obamacare wars, proud proponent of the public option (ron wyden from oregon was another strong advocate, while anthony i-wanna-waiver weiner was the most persistent pugilist for the po in pelosi's place)

kent conrad from dakota, budget chair and right hand man to the gatekeeper, max baucus, was probably the democrat most responsible for killing the po

fyi

anyway, rockefeller has real umbrage against epa, it's all about the appalachian state

bobby byrd staunchly opposed cap and trade, joe manchin put a bullet thru it

a number of you don't know what you're talking about, which is fine

have fun

'Brown Dogs' complicate climate plan - Darren Samuelsohn - POLITICO.com

others to watch are mccaskill, sherrod brown, conrad, tester, stabenow, klobuchar, casey, alaska's begich, baucus and ultra lib levin

west virginian nick rahall, 18 term former chair of house resources, is the brown dog leader downstairs, but he's not really needed in boehner's bailiwick

what's going on here, folks, big picture, is ryan's austerity budget embraces in spirit the corpus of bowles-simpson, obama's vaunted debt commission, fiscal fallback for the presidential flop for 2 years

EXCEPT...

ryan completely excludes the tax/revenue arena

too bad obama took all taxes off the table a couple days before new years eve

oh, republicans made him do it (in lame duck)---we can all hear the excuses to come from the blame-bush crowd

then the prez shouldn't have CAVED on the bush tax cuts for the rich, should he

he shouldn't acted SQUAT for 2 years on this central relationship between each american citizen and his or her irs

either way, we are where we are---austerity is the ultra chic, and tax hikes are for the foreseeable off the table

america wanted and expected johnny unitas, we got ray guy
