Compromise means neither gets what they want. Compromise got us here, in the dire straights we're in financially, socially, morally... There ARE right and wrong answers, compromise is always part wrong. The weak position wants compromise.

Ain't that the truth. $20 trillion, $ 600 billion in yearly interest. Rates won't go up much, they won't print that much to cover the $200 billion per 1% interest rate hike. Bonds will get destroyed. 1/3 of the worlds government debt now has "negative" interest rates. People have to PAY to hold the bond. The end is neigh.
