Sometimes a compromise is no solution at all, for example, these "clean air" tax credits AWARDS polluters at being good at bargaining with other polluters to keep their pollution control and cost at a minimum. I would hate to be living downwind of any coal fired plants with such "controls" in place. Especially considering the birth defects that will result! Another example compromise would be tax credits for health care, stupid idea and unimplementable for many. Many people don't pay enough in taxes to have a tax break that is large enough to cover health care expenses, and second, many people are unemployed, underemployed, and it wouldn't help them a bit.
