MA: Mideast Budget Amendment (Passed)

This is 2% higher than the compromise requested by those on the left.  Is this more acceptable?

That's not true and you know it.  Hell, Tmth first mentioned that possibility in a PM only to reject it later (although he admittedly never committed, only put it out there).

Sorry, do you not like to consider yourself part of the "left"? Because this certainly indicates you supported it:

That is the most convincing argument I've heard on this.  I could live with 113%

Am I reading this wrong?

And I don't know what you mean by "Tmth rejected it". That suggestion was made AFTER the vote had already passed, so 110% had to be the one voted on. And since then, I introduced a version that was even higher than the number you proposed. So I certainly think I'm trying to work with both sides to get this done. I always thought of you as big on compromise, but this all seems awfully political to me.

You first proposed 113% via PM.  I already said that I should've made clear it was a one time offer.  I assumed since we had to vote on 110% that you had rejected it.

This is a particularly foolish idea to restrict the debt limit to a specific $-number. At least make it a percentage of GDP.
