"Neither side’s gonna get 100%. That’s what the American people are lookin’ for."
I'm so sorry, Mr. President. I don't know who's telling you that, but it's a lie.
Americans aren't looking for compromise between parties. 25% of the population that are hardcore republicans want to see you shipped in a cell to Africa. 30% of us on the left want you to close tax loopholes for the rich and corporations, protect social security and medicare, breakup TBTF, bring sense to college tuition, and on-shore jobs. In the middle 45%, there are degrees of agreement with the things that the left wants.
There are NO congressional republicans who want any part of the agenda desired by 75% of this nation's citizens. NOT ONE.
When are you going to get that through your head?!? 75% don't want you to institute any poisonous, regressive, middle-class and poor-bashing policy that the republicans want.
Any compromise on any solution that includes the republican's poison is intolerable. No one with any sense of community or justice can tolerate any more of their "solutions." You fail us everytime you have done so thus far.
Tell Ryan to put up or shut up - close loopholes NOW. Before any budget deal, pass a bill that blocks all the other tricks the wealthy use to avoid paying their fair share. I'd beat him with that issue until doomsday. The word "compromise" doesn't even exist until ALL the loopholes are closed - period.
