In the last few years it seems that the 2 parties don't want to compromise anymore. I remember someone said that Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill used to put politics aside and they'd do things together outside of the debates.
It has to be the political system, the method by which people get elected. Most of the time when I see a national poll it's pretty reasonable. This Tea Party "no new taxes" thing is not a popular concept. Most people are for reducing expenditures and raising taxes (at least on the rich). The party system has ruined America.
Good point. George Washington would be rolling around in his grave especially about the party system.
He faced it, and found out that it
wasn't good
not to be the king.
