    Right. Use this as moving the line to the next step. If this much help is palatable to the ones who typically object to doing things for those in need, then maybe chipping away at something else will be too. It’s better than trying to help most everyone and getting shot down.

    And it totally sucks that we live in a world where we have to play that kind of game to get anything.

      This is what we can do despite the obstruction of the incrementalist wing of the party, not out of some triumph on their part.
