The GOP wouldn't have come on board for anything. A few weeks ago the GOP filibustered the routine raising of the debt cap that has to be passed every so often while the gov't's running a deficit. Ok, fine, they didn't have a problem with deficits for the last 8 years but whatever. The next vote? PAYGO rules. The GOP filibustered THAT too. Wtf? And a week later they filibustered the appointment of a deficit reduction commission, which had been originally proposed by republicans. The current state of congress is that the GOP will try to filibuster every single thing that's proposed by a democrat, even if they agree with it.
