Biden: 'Compromise is always possible.' Boehner: 'There will be no compromise.'

The long form of the above title is:

Biden: 'We're open to speaking with Republicans. Compromise is always possible.' Boehner: 'There will be no compromise.'

And that's the problem in a nutshell. Let me be more specific — this is not a contradiction or a disagreement. Everyone quoted above is correct.

The Republicans are correct in saying that they will not compromise. And the Democrats are correct in saying that they will compromise.

See — everyone agrees. More on this from Rachel Maddow:



It's almost as though there's a Puppet Master pulling both sets of strings, isn't there. (Hint: Big Money neuters Dems and enables Republicans. It's how Money rolls these days.) The mechanism on the Republican side is easy to see; give some thought to the mechanism on the Dem side. (Hint: Who holds Dem purse strings? And who controls the spending?)

Cripes.
