Some of this is because the system is under stress fiscally, and when that happens, the ideological divisions as to the appropriate fixes, are laid bare. When the status quo sort of works, there is less pressure to have to deal with the big systemic flaws in the system, so the tough choices are just not made until the stress level is high enough. Pubs have been hostile to tax increases since rocks cooled as a starting point, and Dems have been hostile to entitlement cuts. So thus you get conflict.
