Sure there is. There’s always compromise. And the people who refuse to figure that out, who are one issue voters eventually get rolled for it. It’s not an accident that the Republican red wave didn’t materialize.

Nope. "Compromise" implies that both participants gain something.
If one party doesn’t want to compromise, that party will get rolled. Just keep watching the republicans in the House. It’ll become clear .
Amazing how willing Democrats are to compromise when they aren't in power.

I'm not talking about POS political parties doing whatever it takes to pander to equally POS voter bases. That's ultimately nothing more than extortion.
Weird. You always insist that it was a compromise with democrats that got Trumps tax cuts through.
That's because a Republican went to Democrats when the Republicans were in power. Please show me all the compromises Dems made with Republicans when Dems controlled Congress? At least under Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi? Any? No? Weird, huh?
Ah. So it’s not the right kind of compromise now. Gotcha.
Sailed right over your head. The only compromise Dems give is they get what they want. Guess what? We're at $31 trillion and counting with a debt that was primarily generated by Democrats. The time has come to slow that way down. We can't just keep passing out billions like it's candy. That's the harsh reality that someone has to take a political hit for to keep the economy from collapsing. Haven't seen any evidence that Democrats are willing to take that hit.
We’re $31 trillion in debt because we’re a country that has bought into two lies: taxes are bad and deficits don’t really matter.
Taxes are necessary to fund what's necessary under the Constitution. They shouldn't be viewed as a means to obtain and keep political power by constantly looking for ways to get votes by showering various constituencies with money.

Taxes aren't used to fund anything, they are only a control on the money supply
Really? What's paying for Social Security and Medicare?

Our debt is mostly from defense spending post 1980, wars in the ME, and tax cuts
All of those are the fault of the Republicans

The treasury printing money
Yah, because everyone knows the Dems are frugal. You might be shocked to know the Democratic Party is now aligned with Wall Street and the military/industrial complex.
So in the history of those programs they've been paid not by payroll taxes but just printing money out of thin air? Are you high?

Yes, everyone knows that, but that doesn't change the fact the existing debt was created by Republicans

Post 1971, yes 100%
