Nobody wants to be the "loser" in this particular battle with the election coming up, so my guess is that they do nothing, make a band-aid fix, then leave it for the next president to be even more screwed. Then you have the same ######s that blame Obama for Bush's policies blaming the next president for Obama's policies.

this is what makes this so stupid, and why the US is so broken right now. the election is over 15 months away, that's not exactly "coming up". in Canada the most warning we ever get for an election is 5 weeks. the culture of unending political campaigning in the US makes it so that virtually nothing of worth can get accomplished unless one party has a majority in both houses
you know the situation is screwed when immediately after one election, the political news outlets start talking about who could make a run 4 years later
