THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT:
As Conservatives and Liberals flail away at each other here, and in competing media outlets, few have given a thought to the fact that both are getting exactly the Government they deserve.
* Neither side wants to compromise with the other
* Neither side wants to work with the other
* Neither side will admit they ever made a mistake
* Both sides want only to attack each other
Until this attitude changes, gridlock and lack of progress on almost everything from the national debt, infrastructure, education, and many other issues will continue. Conservatives and Liberals have about equal amounts of voters. Neither side is going to push the other away. Lawmakers such as Mitch McConnell and Elizabeth Warren are only doing what their backers want them to do. If these lawmakers are to govern differently, then their backers have to send them to Washington with a different mandate....a mandate of compromise, and willingness to work across the aisle to get things done.
