It makes sense that Republicans are using threats of filibusters quite a lot, since Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are determined to go ahead with a quite radical agenda, with their idea of bipartisanship being "sign on the agenda and we might make some very slight changes you like".

As for "projected for the end of term", that's a rather unreasonable projection. There won't be as much that will inspire Republicans to new filibuster threats its not like the Democrats can keep spending more money at this pace, not unless they want the US to default on its debt, or inflate it away to the extent that we move in the direction of Zimbabwe.
