29. Oh that is a great idea and then McConnell is back in charge.

I suggest you and everyone reading these words look at our Senate opportunities and lack thereof. We can't afford to lose two seats. And any punishment, they simply switch caucuses. No, we need to drop the child credit part and the paid leave part...we still get a great deal, and that will likely pass.
