maybe, just maybe....lol...anyway, maybe they can at least do what is suggested in the article, tax reform and close loopholes.

you've got a party that refuses to touch the biggest part of future budget problems, and a party that refuses to look at raising taxes even on billionaires. now, without a bit of a move on both those issues, our problems will continue to spiral out of control.

That's why the automatic triggers were fought over so hard. Everyone knows they will end up the default. Watch for the GOP to try and protect defense with out-the-norm spending, so they don't take that much of a hit via the trigger.
