Sad but true. Compassionate conservatism means cut taxes (the conservative part) and increase Federal spending on anything and everything (the compassionate part, at least compassionate toward career Republicans trying to buy votes).
On the positive side, private accounts for Social Security and major tax reform are powerful, politically dangerous, principled positions, and the House has been pretty strong.
Maybe withold donations to the national party and Senate wimps, and just support individual Republicans with principles.
