Exactly. G-d help us if Boehner’s offer is actually the extreme case from which compromise will be generated.
Boehner should have come forward with something to the right of Simpson-Bowles (or Ryan, for that matter), and basically told POR that they needed to think long and hard about any so-called legacy they wanted to leave for themselves. I can get compromise, but Boehner’s offer is so lukewarm it’s practically ice water, as far as actually, you know, addressing the fundamental issues.

NOT SO. Just plain FALSE.
I’m sorry, did I miss an accusation somewhere that one candidate would “put y’all back in chains” or something?
