Not sure if this was posted somewhere here, but this is a pretty good article on the likely stumbling block in the CBA process.

I'm not surprised the same group of billionaires that does everything they can to lobby congress into lowering their taxes during one of the greatest ongoing economic crises, and tries to stare down the other side in the face of the US defaulting on it's loans, also makes up the same group of people that have no problems staring down the PA with another lockout looming, just to prevent having to give up anymore money to struggling franchises.
It's the "there may be a problem, but that's your problem" mentality. The "I'll be damned if I have to give up another percentage point of my billion dollar revenue machine" mentality. It may be water off my billion dollar back, but it's my water, get your filthy hands off it.
