Couldn’t disagree more. Gridlock is the only saving grace right now, helping slow the slow creep toward bigger and unsustainable central government. We have thousands of useless and unenforced laws on the books already. And redundant agencies all to make politicians look like they are solving problems.
Maybe the best example is homeland security. Bush stuffed billions of dollars up a hogs butt to look like he was “solving problems”.
Problems are shoveled better on the more local level, where they can better tailored.
I am not talking about getting rid of gridlock. That will exist regardless due to how our system works. I am talking about important items, like the pandemic relief bill, that end up being held up because both sides fail to negotiate and try to add unnecessary items to bills just because specific parts of the bill are too important to block.
