@DrewMTips No tax general tax hikes. But when you lose leverage it costs you something. The Rs lost leverage cuz of shutdown.1 reply 2 retweets 0 likes -

@DavidMDrucker Oh please. The leverage of intact caps was still there. GOP wants higher spending. That's why THUD appropriation died.1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@DrewMTips No, they lost political leverage. Did many Rs want more Defense spending? Sure. But more overall spending, not at all.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DavidMDrucker How? If they had passed a clean CR at sequester level spending you think the Dems would have rejected it?3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DrewMTips ...They wanted to replace Defense sequester w/ other cuts. I'm not placing value judgement either way, just explaining politics.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DavidMDrucker Also, no one believes the Dems would have agreed to increase defense w/out raising BCA caps. Shutdown was irrelevant.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@DrewMTips We disagree. But your analysis is sound. Good debate.
