...whether it makes good fiscal sense, some tax cuts are sure to be included in any deal between Clinton and the G.O.P. It is just as certain that both sides will compromise. Clinton has already given way to the Republicans repeatedly, agreeing to balance the budget on their seven-year schedule and to accept the economic projections of the Congressional Budget Office that the Republicans favor. And Republicans have been indicating that much of the tax package may be jettisoned for now, to be taken up again next year. If a deal is struck, the remaining question is which side...

...White House objection to the Republican budget plan is that it favors the rich, as well as "checkbook lobbying," all of which the FEC's charges against Gingrich seemed to buttress. Last week, after three days of negotiation, neither side was making any concessions to reach agreement on a seven-year budget deal. Said Armey: "We have not gotten the President to talk to us in any substantive way. They are still pursuing a strategy of failure." Responded Leon Panetta, White House chief of staff: "I've got to see some give on their part...
