There are times when compromising is a good thing, for the purpose of progressing toward an acceptable solution to our problem. If we had alread balanced the budget, and were beginning to pay off our gargantual National Debt, then a disagreement over whether to pay it off at a rate of $300 billion per year or $800 biillion per year, could be resolved by each side compromising. This would be a good way to go, even if not "perfect" in anyone's view.But a disagreement over whether to keep raising tax rates and borrowing without end, having no plans to even balance the budget much less paying off the huge debt, versus no tax increases and putting in place a plan to balance the budget, cannot be "compromised" by its very nature.What, exactly, is the point of compromising?
