7. That's good and all but it won't pass the Senate.

I think what we need is a major poison pill bill for the Repugnants.
For example how about a bill that raises the tax on anyone who's ultra-wealthy however it also includes a massive reduction for Planned Parenthood? The catch is it also includes extra spending and I mean a lot of extra spending for programs to educate and provide things like condoms for free too students in high school as well as clinics to provide birth control to young girls.
I grant you it's not perfect and I don't like the cut to Planned Parenthood however it would have the advantage putting the Repugnants in a tight spot that they would have to find a way to wiggle out of.
Either they support the increase and get what they wanted with Planned Parenthood or they refuse and then if we are careful we can use it against them later on.
