and the pain will be felt places that it shouldn't. It's a shame. There are so many obvious places to cut spending and raise revenue and the GOP just won't put country ahead of party. What I hear you saying is that we will gain no additional leverage, and I probably agree. I believe the House Republicans have an 11% approval rating, and if that doesn't move them off center, I'm not sure what will.
