I can certainly understand that the rudderless GOP should stop being the party of no (although they shouldn’t say yes to anything the dems propose).

Compromise though? To what extent?

OK dems, we’ll vote for TARP II, but instead of 1.5 trillion, we’ll compromise and only spend 1.3 trillion of the next generations money now, until TARP III comes out. Next fiscal budget, we’ll compromise and spend only 4 trillion, instead of 5.
