Fiscal Cliff Compromise

Well, here it is the first day of 2013 and what is Congress doing?  It's teetering the nation on the edge of the "fiscal cliff" about to fall over.

The Democrat dominated Senate dawdled for months doing nothing about a budget or financial solution to the impending "fiscal cliff" problem.  For months the Republican controlled House tried its best to cobble something together to avoid going over the cliff.  All in vain because the Democrats stonewalled every effort and refused to even talk much less compromise.  Then, New Year's Eve the Senate comes up with something at the last minute, and at midnight flings it over to the House.

Now, here it is noon the next day.  Pelosi with her Democrat cohorts are all over television bemoaning the fact the Republicans won't compromise even though they haven't had a chance to read the Senate (Democrat's) proposal.

I recall during the first two years of the Obama administration the Democrats controlled all three branches of government.  They then never once uttered the word "compromise" to the Republicans.  They pushed through legislation as though the Republicans were potted plants.

Compromise to a Democrat is: "You agree with me."  It's like back in 2009 when Pelosi was pushing Obamacare and she said, "You have to pass it to see what's in it."  What an idiot!
