Big surprise. The two parties are hardly different at all. When it comes to the philosophy that matters, they always end up with the same policy. More wars, more welfare, more taxes, more spending, more debt. I am afraid things wont change until we hit an economic crisis. The size scope of this current government is unsustainable.
The behemoth bureaucracy really is what needs to be addressed, but of course it won't, simply because of the way we conduct elections. It would be a monumental task to "downsize" the federal government, but how would it ever really get done? In the meantime, each party will spend spend spend on those pet projects that appeal to their own ideological senses, and when we have a split Congress, gridlock occurs. When one party controls everything, the opposing party is so pissed off that by the next election, no one seems even interested in the issues themselves, but only in how much vitriol can be useful in order to win. Then along comes a presidential cycle, and the Noble Noobs all think (they really do) that they have the answers to all the problems. Just vote for me and, and my party with my leadership will see Americans dancing in the streets in unison.
Uh huh...
