take credit for saving us from the chained CPI. They will use it in ads in 2014 to win more seats in the House. All this will do is kick the can down the road a couple months until the debt ceiling and they will have Obama right where they want him.

You can't guarantee anything except the fact that you will continue to bash Obama. MjolnirTime Dec 2012 #6

You wanna give me odds on that one? leveymg Dec 2012 #12

Why the 2:1 odds if you're so sure alcibiades_mystery Dec 2012 #17
