Impasse on bonding bill

The House and Senate can't come to an agreement on the bonding bill. Big surprise. They are 7% apart, but that gulf is too wide to bridge apparently.

Look, this isn't that hard. We didn't have a bonding bill last year and it's time for one. Split the difference and be done with it. House Republicans will have to spend more than they want, the Senate less. A good compromise, in the words of Calvin, leaves everybody unhappy.
