Bipartisan Group of Lawmakers Seek Common Ground

In the Wall Street Journal

A bipartisan group of eight House members offered a snapshot Monday evening of some of the potential legislative challenges and advantages the next president may face in dealing with Congress.

…Republicans reiterated support for tax cuts and a heightened need to curb federal spending, while Democrats argued a bigger slice of the pie needs to go to the middle class and to reining in deficits that have put the U.S. in debt to China and other nations.

At this time I give the benefit of the doubt to the Democrats for identifying the most promising pragmatic changes. It seems to me that the Republican’s can hardly find anything to agree with Senator McCain about, least of which are those areas of common ground with the Democrats. When I read stuff like this I make an online donation to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
