I like the guy. He's a Facebook friend because I was arguing with one of our mutual friends (another Dem) over some issue or another. The point being is he's not a purist that won't work with the other side. Perfectly sane policies like marijuana legalization and high speed rail, and then this: "Take a fast food worker who is making $9.00 an hour today, raise their wages to $15.00 and I guarantee you next Saturday they will go out and buy a new Jeep Wrangler made in Toledo, Ohio." I thought the dumbest thing I've heard is the idea of a $15.00 minimum wage in Ohio. Until I read the idea that someone making that $15/hr minimum would immediately purchase a $27,000 car, and that this would be a good idea.

I don't work for FIP but I don't think this is dead in the water. I don't know much about timeframes or that all-important factor money, but unless I'm very mistaken "back to the drawing board" is closer to the truth than "being scrapped altogether".
