I don't think people see things my way to much. The point of our government is to balance power, but it's delecate and if Dems get to much power they'll just throw us into the shit on the other side of the fence. I hope Obama shows restraint and remembers that he got there from people who don't always see things on the far side, but more in the middle. Work for the people and not just for your own ideas... that's the crap we've been suffering in for the past 8 years... that's what I feel. |
I completely agree with you. That's why I think that the budget was the best under Clinton (creating surpluses and minimzing the impact on national debt). However, I think both sides have focused too much on keeping their bases and we have a civil war of ideologies. For example, I don't think that Congress is really able to react in a way to the rapidity of the way things change in the world when there is utter gridlock because party is put first. I really wish there were more centrist candidates from both sides, which would make "going across the aisle" all the easier or we did some "socialist" (joke) campaign financing and eradicated parties entirely and voted on issues. Unfortunately, I doubt the average voter would read them all.
