At this point, I'd say let it crash and burn. The right shouldn't do a thing and force the left to own the disaster they created.
If your President actually had a viable alternative, which he promised us he had all election, I'm all ears. But clearly he has no plan that is better, just another false promise.

They've been saying that for the past decade. Believe me, they aren't going anywhere. They're working on combining the two companies. But them going away? No.
