Sahil Kapur at TPM has a great piece today regarding the current budget battle. By making the fight about Obamacare -- a fight that the Right will surely lose -- they have actually "forced" the Democrats to accept spending at sequestration levels for another year. And that means that sequestration-level spending is more and more likely to be seen as the baseline from which all future budget decisions should be made.
Sure that hurts the country and is economically crazy, but it is the new normal.
Lose the battle. Win the war.
