I see the problem as more fundamental than that. We thought we created a foolproof governmental system but it got gamed. The founding fathers knew this would happen which is why a lot of their literature talks about semi-frequent revolutions. Every system of government eventually becomes corrupted and must be refreshed, it's part of the human political cycle. With each cycle, improvements are made to try and stem corruption, until next time.
People have this wrong idea that our Constitution is set in stone and our system of government can never changed. It actually changed a lot in the first 75 years. There were way more Constitutional amendments, more changes to how people are appointed, etc. Now, as we more further away from the founding days, people are afraid to touch the system at all and seem to look at the Constitution like it's some kind of holy document.
We are well overdue for some healthy conflict and reform. It's not going to happen though. Our government is in perpetual deadlock and everyone has been bought off.
You are very well informed.
Thanks for the information.
We will see what will happen very soon.
In the meantime I'll stand here in this empty middle and lestin to the right and their nonsense and watch the left in their weakness.
