Washington Gridlock: Compromise Not Dirty Word

Excerpted from an editorial by The Kansas City Star.

Congressional gridlock is dead. Long live constructive bipartisanship in our nation's capital.

Well, that's not reality ? yet. But it's encouraging that President Barack Obama and other leaders in Washington are talking more about shared sacrifices needed to deal with the country's real priorities.

They include working together to reduce the deficit and reform entitlements by making sound compromises that cut spending and raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. ...

The upcoming battles, especially to resolve "fiscal cliff" issues, will test the mettle of Obama and Congress. The debates will be pitched and emotional. But they can be achieved with respect across the aisles.

Those with different political viewpoints need to make compromises and start voting with each other to effectively deal with this nation's many challenges.
