DeMint/Sanders 2016

Rationale from link to Huffington Post in OP:

"Most of us who ran this election said we were not going to vote for anything that increased the deficit," he said. "This does. It raises taxes, it raises the death tax. I don't think we needed to negotiate that aspect of this thing away. I don't think we need to extend unemployment any further without paying for it, and without making some modifications such as turning it into a loan at some point. It then encourages people to go back to work. So there's a lot of problems with it."

For once, I'll pull for Bernie Sanders. Maybe if he'll do a real filibuster and talk for hours, it'll gum up the schedule for the rest of the awful lame duck bills.

Wow, what an unlikely trio.

And even more odd, I wish them luck. :D
