I can't see that it matters. They will still continue to collect their bloated salaries and do nothing but try to bankrupt the company.

The american public seems to be the only "bosses" in the country that allow this kind of insubordination.

They will be nasty since it's not an election year.

I think They will try to keep Obama so busy with his veto pen that he won't be able to concentrate on anything else. Looks like another fucked up two years. At least they won't have a super-majority.

Very scary stuff. If the destruction of the ACA does come to pass, they will destroy this nation's social contract, and take us down to 2nd world status--think Russia, Brazil, India, China. Industrialized, but 1st world life only for the elite. The safety nets all go, the masses serve or die.

Why? Because if they have the power to gut the ACA, they will have the power for the whole thing, and that's what they will want to do.
