I think this back-and-forth B.S. is mostly one big show.
Both sides know getting something passed is critical, they're just waiting to cut a last minute deal, acting tough now so their bases don't think of them as pussies for caving in.
My prediction - deal passes at the last minute. 2% social security tax holiday eliminated. Tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans will be raised. Not sure if it'll be on $250,000+ earners or what yet.
Both sides thump their chests in triumph.
