Ask for way more than you want, then relent on what you can do without... for now.
In the end, they never suspected a thing!

But know that the Republicans have agreed to almost $600 Billion in stuff they absolutely didn't want. There's nothing in this bill Dems don't want. $600B that Republicans don't want.

Yeah, there was another $600 Billion Dems wanted that they didn't get, but it's also not like we are giving up on that stuff.

A $1.2T deal is double the size the Republicans wanted.
