The nation is bankrupt because the men and women who go to Washington keep enriching themselves, their families and friends.
Every dollar spent by Washington is not due to their generosity or need, but due to their self-interest.
Even the most conservative members bring pork back home in the form of contracts, subsidies and grants.
If the program was created in the past, it is looted, layered and manipulated to benefit themselves and their circle.
If you think another party will be able to find 218 pure men for the House and 60 for the Senate, you are dreaming.
There is no turning back. Courts have ruled all this spending is not just constitutional, but required!
Everything you mention is nickels and dimes compared to the dollars we spend on Medicare, Medicaid, DOD, SS disability, and 83 some odd welfare programs. They don’t get fixed because politicians don’t want to risk their re election not because they are too busy lining their pockets. A third, fourth or fith party would give them new competition for their cushy jobs, forcing them to do what is right. When their best chance of re election is to do what is right for the country instead of what is right for their party or themselves change will happen. The staus quo ensures the problems you point out will prevail. Giving voters more than two choices is a step in the right direction. Railing on and on about corruption in politics might make you feel better, but it sure as hell doesn’t fix any problems. I say more political parties will help. We have heard your complaints, let’s hear your plan. If you don’t have one don’t bother me with any more of your pissin n moanin.
