re: #167 klys

The article does nothing to explain why Bob Woodward thought that trying to come up with a compromise to replace the sequester - the exact thing the sequester was supposed to force - was moving the goalposts. Unless his version of compromise was: all cuts, just more targeted.

Because a compromise is the only way a deal is going to get done. If one side overestimates their leverage then no deal will get done. It’s a very dangerous game I wish politicians weren’t playing. The economic uncertainty about the basic essentials for the country is sign that we are broken and dysfunctional.
