Partisan bickering is getting way to out of hand. Senators on both sides of the aisle are acting like spoiled children stomping their feet because they don't get candy.
It may be to late for the current issue, but I believe that the very first item on the automatic spending cuts should be senate and house member salaries. They obviously need more incentive to get any work done. This country is made up of people of differing views, neither side is in the majority. Compromise is an absolute necessity, from BOTH sides. I think I can speak for most people when I say I'm tired of your arguments and whining. Do your job.
