Tell the House Ways and Means Committee NO CHAINED CPI!

13. The DEMOCRATIC President remains a key part of the negotiating process.

Good grief! Stop trying to distract from Obama's responsibility for putting chained CPA into the budget. I worked for the Democratic caucus of my state legislature for 10 years, including analyzing proposed state budgets from the governor. Do you actually believe that Obama has no role in the backroom negotiations at this point?

Of course, as a sentient being posting on DU, I know the GOP has control of the House. What bothers the hell out of us true Democrats is that a "Democratic" president put CPI on the table, and continues to push for it. His Catfood Commission certainly has staying power!

I would very much like to hear your view of Obama pushing CPI.
