Trojan Horse Proposal?

 Its a bit hard to believe that Republicans are acting in good faith.  Maybe they are and there may be a few changes that can be agreed on, but sadly I fear based on recent history that they will be an all or nothing offer, designed to win political point for trying to be bipartisan but in the end unifying against whatever is agreed to.

This was their strategy 12 years ago dragging out the process, getting concessions and then vaoting against so they can clam they tried but had to oppose the final package.

There is no way to guarantee they vote for what they agree to.  Maybe they will but stripping away things that the progressives want for no support in ght end is a tactic they use.

Moving the stimulus package along quickly with enough to jump start the economy is more important that working with the insurrectionists.
