EVEN RONALD REAGAN COMPROMISED

HEADLINE: DEMOCRATS SEEK UP TO $3 TRILLION SAVINGS

HEADLINE: REPUBLICANS BACK TAX CUTS AND CORPORATE BREAKS


The Democrats put a serious debt reduction plan on the table that both cuts entitlement spending and increases taxes on the wealthy.

The Republicans call for more tax cuts?

In the face of massive deficits and debt, is that a serious proposal? You want to double down on much of what got us here in the first place?

Democrats are ready to compromise for the good of the country. When have Republicans ever been ready to do that? When will they?

Our country faces serious issues and needs to move forward and deal with stimulating the economy and creating jobs while at the same time dealing with our debt. If there ever was a time to step up for America, now would be it.

The strength of America and our ability to project power across the globe is directly tied to our economic engine and right now it is clear that we need both increased revenue and some measure of entitlement reform to restore our strength. 

Those who refuse to compromise for America should be shown the door.
