Once passed - it will never be repealed. The D's know it and the leadership is willing to take a 4 year hit to get it done.
The slight of hand of the D's and stupidity of the American people is breathtaking.
The only way this looks somewhat appealing for the next couple of years is because the government starts collecting now but the big payouts don't start for 4 years. So the budget projections look good - RIGHT NOW.
They get toasted this year - no big deal. Obama gets toasted in three years - no big deal. The budget explodes - the Republicans try to cut something - anything the next year - and the D's ride to the rescue to save the little people from the "Evil Rich".
Then its over, finished, the end ................
