After reading and catching up in this thread I have now abandoned all meager hope that the two sides will be capable of reaching a working compromise.
No is really interested in compromise, but instead are interested in being right. Neither side is completely right and neither side is completely wrong, but I doubt that will be factored in.
Some are so radical that they propose ideals that would dump the elderly and infirm on the streets.
Some are so radical that they think that full blown socialism will fix things.
Overall it appears that things like education have less priority than military spending. This is the doorway to doom as a nation.
For a long term solution everybody will have to put some chips on the table. If only one side ends up with all the chips on the table we can uniformly expect an economic collapse. If neither side puts any chips on the table we can uniformly expect an economic collapse.
I see one side blame the other for loss of our freedoms, but when I look at facts and voting records I see equal guilt from both parties.
Yes, we truly have the government we deserve.
Compromise is rarely achieved on these sites. While it is nice when actual positive discourse happens, it is rare, like a precious jewel. All else is vanity.
