re: #180 KGxvi

One of Limbaugh’s most insidious arguments, back in the early aughts, was that “compromise” in DC speak meant “Democrats get everything they want and Republicans agree to it.” That sentiment spread throughout the wingularity over the next decade or so, to the point where the “obvious” reaction was “no, compromise now means we get what we want, you’ve had your turn.”

I also recall him in the 90’s telling us that a budget surplus was de facto immoral because it meant that the government was taking more tax money from us than it needed to operate.
