I'm not so sure Kramer. The Dems know that even if they lose big in Nov, the pendulum will eventually come back around, and they'll have a piece of majority status once again. So, going the cowardly reconciliation route will give them their victory, by getting Cash for Croakers ingrained as an entitlement, that will never go away. The government will effectively be moved into a center-left function
The question of course, is how many Dems are willing to sacrifice their current political careers, for future Dems in the next decade
