Just shut down the U.S Government already!

At this point, it might be time for the US to reconsider the congressional structure. Perhaps fewer representatives, longer terms, and more clear-cut rules. And maybe some work on the Constitution while they're at it.

I'm inclined to think eliminating gerrymandering would solve much of our problems.

Not really. The mere geography of it favors Republicans due to rural sprawl. Building evenly-designed districts would still favor them, just not as egregiously as some of the artistic shapes they've got in some states currently.

I propose use of a computer program following certain rules, working one square mile at a time, starting from the state capitol building and radiating outward until it has enough "blocks" to form a district, then for the next block it processes, that becomes block one of a new district, which radiates outward until it forms a district.
