We have multiple problems and those problems are different types of problems, however, they are compounding to make the sum of the problems greater than the individual problems. We have a problem with our debt, that is fueled in part by our economy, in part by our spending, and in part by our tax structure. We have a bad economy, partially because of deregulation and malfeasence in the private sector, however, it is compounding other issues. Its like a horrible game of pick up sticks, where it seems like every stick will cause another stick to move. It seems overwhelming.
However, even though its one big mess, it does not (and should not) prevent us from looking at individual pieces of the mess and discussing those things individually, trying to find where we went wrong, and proposing a corrective action, which is what I am attempting to do with this thread. That combined with that fact that I am quite sure everyone wants a REAL solution, but we disagree what that real solution should be, leading to the gridlock. We all think our solution is the correct one, so simply going "we need real solutions" does not really cut it. All you are doing is pretending to be above the fray, so you don't get **** on you like the rest of us do when we discuss actual issues.
I am sorry you are fed up with the whole thing, however, going "Everyone sucks!" does nothing to help.
