    I think we can just keep it (and so far have been) on the FERS issues without pointing to parties in a derogatory way.

    However, if some want to go from a PG rated thread (for Polite) to an R rating (for violence) then maybe we could do a 2nd version of this thread on the Beltway, where its OK to throw on some partisan "red meat" or "blue burgers" on the grill.
    Good one Fire,
    I really think most of the banter we are currently hearing is simply just political posturing. IMO, try to remember that this is only the beginning - and we'll hear alot more bizarre ideas from both sides - I expect many to be really very far "Out There" at least intitially.
    As both work from the farthes extremes, toward the middle, where everything will end up is anyone's quess, at this early time. Personally, I'm not going to be paying much attention until time time starts toward approaching the final deadline.
    Then, as usual, final days/hours of desperation will decide.
    Is this opinion political - I think not because it is the reality of today (IMO shameful). But, but apologies in advance if I crossed the "invisible" grey line. VR

    Man it sucks. Time to move the conversation to

    LOL. So suddenly you understand what it's like to be a bill payer instead of just a bill maker.
