Compromise. That wasn’t so bad was it? 6 hours ago

Mike, we shifted cuts to the Pentagon and mandatory spending and saved Title X. No one is thrilled, but it’s called compromise. 6 hours ago
From DailyKos:
Boy, I hope the next time I’m in a negotiation, my opposite defined compromise the same way McCaskill does.
Steve Benen on the reality:
I want a law passed. Whenever someone on our teevees says “we’re broke” I want that person to immediately say whether their federal taxes as a percentage of their income is higher or lower than it was in 2000.
Today, I heard the very serious, and very rich, James Baker tell me that we are broke. Fareed did not ask my question.
I would love for Claire to tell me whether she is broke before we do anymore compromises.
Of course, if I get a chance, I will ask my member of Congrees, who is worth between 3-13 million dollars, about her status.
