âYou canât cut spending your way out of this hole. You canât grow your way out of this hole. And you canât tax your way out of this hole. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, we tell these people. This is madness,â Simpson said [on CNNâs âFareed Zakaria GPS.â] âIf you want to be a purist, go somewhere on a mountaintop and praise the East or something. But if you want to be in politics, you learn to compromise. And you learn to compromise on the issue without compromising yourself. Show me a guy who wonât compromise and Iâll show you a guy with rock for brains.â
