I study Economics and am taking a class in that and political science.

Ask for a refund, IMO.

Better yet... don't ask for a refund.  Better if you dump your tuition funds back into the economy.  At least then some good is coming of it.

Purchasing for purchasing's sake and then counting that as growth is a large part of the problem.

So uh

The Republicans are narrow-minded to bring a country to a paralysing crisis setting that lowers confidence in government, and:
The Democrats are too weak to propose anything bold at all

The word 'bold' in the context you're using it in scares me to death.  Generally speaking, doing something 'bold' in politics means spending even more money and raising revenues.  We know how that gets done... scraping even more money off the top and sapping capital from the only segment of the country that actually generates true growth: small, private businesses.
