One of the great problems we face as a country right now is our polarizing politics. We could be discussing the color of the water and have two people swear it was either purple or orange because that’s how it’s always been, or how it possibly could be if the traditionalists would stop blocking the way for new water possibilities. We’ve got to come together to figure this out. The longer we drag our feet, the better the companies do in the interim.
A major part of the problem is that 98% of Congress will get re-elected no matter what they do.. people believe that their representatives in Congress are the “good guys”.. it is the others that are “crooked”. Other than “voting the bums out” we have to compete with the 9 + million that lobbyists spending every day to influence the 535 members of Congress. The Democrats are so unified they can’t compromise and a sizeable number of Republicans are such individualists that they can’t compromise. It would seem that no matter who is “in power”.. we have Congressional gridlock
The mission and goals are so unclear that an administration with a stacked deck (the legislature and judiciary are in their favor) can’t get the job done. I wish we could drop the party labels, stick everyone in a gym for a weekend, and only unlock the doors when a compromise was reached.
