Don’t Give Up Hope on a ‘Grand Bargain’ Just Yet
By PETER FENN
I am an optimist, maybe a bit of a Pollyanna to tell you the truth. I am a glass-half-full kind of guy. Sure, I have my cynical side—who wouldn’t after spending so much time around this town!
But one thing I have learned is that political people can surprise you, they can end up doing what is right and pragmatic a lot of the time. When we expect impending doom, as we did in December with the fiscal cliff, we can see agreement result.
Hopefully, we will experience a similar development when it comes to a “grand bargain.”
