Stirewalt: If GOP Uses Reconciliation, That’s ‘Not the Filet Mignon’; It’s the ‘Stuff You Feed the Cat’

‘Maybe it’s better than nothing’

EXCERPT:

STIREWALT: "Well, again, as we were talking about before, if you go the reconciliation route you end up where the Republicans did last time — you jam through a tax cut, it's short term and then you've got to fight to keep it in place and eventually as it was under President Obama, Bush tax cuts get repealed or allowed to expire and you go through all of that. This is not the real deal. This is not the filet mignon, this is the stuff that you feed the cattle. And maybe it’s OK. Maybe it’s better than nothing. Maybe it’s better than starvation rations but this is the key for the Republicans."
