Drum needs to try this without the priors

Meanwhile, Democrats are interested solely in measures that help ordinary people: state and local bailouts, housing, food, unemployment insurance, etc

Dems want to help local governments, that is not necessarily ordinary people.

 The ordinary people clause is from the list of priors, and Republicans have their own list.  The priors coloring is meaningless at this point.

Here is a clue for Kevin. The local governments need sales taxers or they are doomed soon.
