1) The TA might actually pass MEMRAT and we are stuck with it; or

2) The TA gets voted down and we start another circus show like the last time with recalls and shuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

So, if neither of the above occur, it seems like we continue proceeding down the "no concession" track which certainly has a cost. The cost for "no concessions" is quickly becoming the loss of full retro and the perpetual continuation of C2012. Those who think we can get both are quickly losing touch with reality.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out...and when. I have a feeling we might see a TA by 2018 and it will look pretty similar to where we are now. Hope I'm wrong but...
