2. Dems only control the Senate and White House and thus meet all (98%) of
Repugs' demands. :patriot:

3. He didn't accept it.
The deal was to restore FAA funding now and resolve the EAS and labor issues later.

5. And put in "cuts" with a provision that LaHood can spend the money anyways
That part kind of amused me.
