well, at the purely pragmatic/instrumental level, if obama wants bipartisan support for his various economic initiatives, why would he get behind this?
personally, i agree with your argument--i think it's necessary and should happen and that it may not happen is a travesty.
but i'm wondering if this travesty is inevitable or not, given what obama's been saying on this and the question i posed at the outset...
