Once again, the Deseret News editorial board throws out the word "compromise" as the only logical, mature and reasonable way for our politicians to resolve the government's fiscal deficit problems. And note it is the Republicans that are blamed for not wanting to compromise, not the Democrats.
How do you think this country got into this dilemma in the first place? The conservative Republicans, once they get into office, compromise far too much with the Democrats who want to control, dictate to, enslave and create a voting bloc of dependent citizens. And as is evident, the liberal media pushes them to do so.
It would be nice if some righteous principles were adhered to, and fiscal conservatism and the free enterprise system were promoted instead of a destructive socialistic and nanny-state system.
That is how our nation started out and why it became great.

Hate to break it to you Kim, but you have fallen into the rut of thinking that the GOP is not guilty of overspending. Granted, so are the Dems.
But, the GOP's thirst for unfunded Wars and lower taxes play a huge part of the More..
Oh, good grief, Kim. You apparently don't want to live in a democratic republic. You want to live in a totalitarian dictatorship where a Christian social & fiscal conservative controls everything and you never have to deal with opposing More..
