As of late, I'm not a big fan of 'compromise' If one person says 2+2=4, and another says we should make 2+2=5... I'm not willing to compromise on that. That's more analogous to what it's been like lately. There's information, facts, and policy making based on them...and there's obstructionism to protect special interests. Compromise doesn't have to mean 50/50... Compromise could be 90/10... but like I said - Presently, there's always someone or some group opposed to policy based on information, observation, facts and ethics in favor of a 'compromise' to protect a small wealthy subsection of the entire nation.
