Small town Senators seek return to delusions

Concerning a letter 60 Senators write to Obama to make a one year budget deal:
The call by 32 Republicans and 32 members of the Democratic caucus for Obama to widen the budget talks gives a boost to a bipartisan group of six senators trying to craft a sweeping deficit-reduction plan that can pass Congress. The number of signatures suggests the group’s effort to reach a grand bargain on spending and taxes has picked up support that may help propel an eventual agreement through the Senate.

“I expected a lot, but this is an awful lot,” said Senator Michael Bennet, the Colorado Democrat who circulated the letter this week with Republican Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska. “I hope it will keep the conversation moving forward and the Gang of Six working.”
No, I say put them back to a two week budget cycle.
