Everybody wins?

I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Monday declared President Obama’s $447 billion jobs package is dead, flatly rejecting Obama’s plea for passage by the end of the month.
Cantor said the House would not bring up the president’s American Jobs Act for a vote as a whole, but by the end of the month would move forward with elements supported by GOP leaders, including three pending trade agreements and a reduction in the withholding tax for businesses.
That is what Republicans call compromise. Remember this?
A RANDOM CONSERVATIVE COMMENTER:
You don’t have to compromise if both parties want the same thing. The Dems represented that they wanted, or at least were willing to accept budget cuts. Great, our team wanted budget cuts too.
