"If the youngsters want it, there are enough Rebublicans to pass it."

First, adults that are in their 30s are not "youngsters."

Second, I was not aware that the Democrats had agreed to not filibuster (obstruct) this issue in the Senate.

Those that obstruct with an absence of ideas (Tom Daschle? John Kerry?) lose.

If the youngsters want it, there are enough Republicans to pass it.

Unfortunately, there isn't. Like most big things, you need 60 votes in the Senate.
