Obama should compromise on tax rates for highest earners

I agree with Krugman. Especially since "compromise" just means moving the conflict another year or two down the road. Yeah play hardball and let everything expire, then let the Republicans in February look at the poll numbers on their holding the nation hostage to defend lower tax rates for millionaires. This is indeed nothing at all like the debt ceiling thing.

Yeah Boehner has even conceded on Obamacare, he has now said it's "the law of the land" and he will not attempt repeal again.
