I don't believe this is the issue actually. I think they're doing it because they're mad about anyone compromising. Just like the GOP gets mad anytime someone compromises (RINO anyone?). It's all outrage all the time.

And again, WTF is the estate tax issue doing tied into this mess? Goodness me, how can THIS be the tax cut the GOP so desperately wants that in this current situation it deserves to be part of the package? You only pay this tax WHEN YOU ARE DEAD. Good grief.
