Yes, there is that one compromise wherein both parties f***ed the debt, with an extension of tax cuts AND unemployment benefits - both expenditures.

Compromising on raising the debt ceiling after we've been downgraded? Yea, that's not really a compromise, because raising the debt ceiling is a routine operation that the GOP politicized.

The DREAM Act that every lawmaker in your party loves now, was filibustered/clotured in the Senate twice in 2010 after it had a majority, but not a 60 vote majority.[/QUOTE]

How is the extension of tax policy an expenditure?
