Compromise will never solve this problem.. because was we surely know, the more politicians have to spend to buy votes, the more they will spend. The current budget debate is not just about balancing the budget. It also involves the role of government in our lives. Conservatives like myself believe that the budget bomb occurred because of the excessive role of government in our lives and the spending that goes with it. If you raise taxes, you are just increasing the role of government in our lives, and like an alcoholic, that just one drink makes you feel better just for a little while, but you get the shakes back and want more.. thus the size of our government. We have to get this drunken government off the money sauce cold turkey.
