I didn't answer your point about compromise, but here's the way I see it.

We've got an out-of-control truck barrelling down the mountain towards us. It's got "government spending" and "government power grabs" and "goverment size" written all over it, the brakes are out, the throttle is stuck.

Do you care if it's a Chevy or Ford, no you care about getting out of the way of it, and then getting it stopped before it's too late.

It started with FDR and a stacked supreme court. But you are not going to go back. The toothpaste is out of the tube. You deal with what you can in the context of the current times. Much can be done about balancing the budget, but don't expect to suddenly get a surge of support for eliminating the commerce clause.
