Pelosi has the right idea.

She is arguing for immediate repeal of tax cuts for people making more than $¼ million a year.

I like this for 2 reasons:

• It’s good policy.
• It’s an even better place to start negotiations from.

The you only need two republicans, plus Uncle Joe Lieberman, to get this through the Senate, and you do not even need them on a budget bill, though there other 60 vote (actually 59 right now with 2 vacant seats) hoops to jump through.
