It will be interesting to watch the teabagger pol's reaction - their credo has always been NO COMPROMISE, EVER and now they're backed into a corner. Marco Rubio, a 2016 wanna-be who offered a reasonable immigration bill and was quickly slapped down by teabaggers, learned his lesson and come out against this COMPROMISE minutes after it was announced...Can the other 2016 wanna-be Dr. Seus fan Ted Cruz be far behind?
Dem Congressmen from the northern VA and Maryland districts with many gov't workers won't like the increase in FUTURE gov't worker's pension contribution, so it will be interesting to see their reaction.
The biggest loser in teabagger circles is Paul Ryan even though this COMPROMISE maintains corp tax loopholes, while not extending long-term unemployment benefits for average people...obviously Ryan sees the end of a short-lived NO COMPROMISE, EVER tea party.
