Nonetheless, he continued, "they do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can." That is not just a fine sentiment: with Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, Mr Obama will have to do some haggling to get any of the elaborate agenda laid out in his speech adopted. Most urgently, a compromise will be needed if America is to escape the "sequester", a big package of spending cuts due to take effect on March 1st, but designed to be so extreme that Congress would never actually allow them to occur. Yet finding that compromise looks harder than ever. Mr Obama proposed much the same formula to reduce the deficit and avert the sequester as he has previously, though never in so elevated a forum. This is the deal that the two parties were groping towards at the end of last year, in an effort to avoid not just the sequester but also big tax increases for all Americans that were scheduled to take effect on January 2nd as George W. Bush's tax cuts expired. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
