What's this?

Ok how about the last 20 years then?

I mean surely all of these smart, capable, honest, hardworking, clean, politicians you speak of that are doing all this arduous behind the scenes work have come together to pass something worthwhile? Practical solutions? One

I love your example of how many times have the tea party contributing to almost failing to raise the debt limit......haha you fail to see the irony. WHY ARE WE SPENDING MORE THAN WE HAVE TO START WITH. hmmm maybe all these politicians you worship don't really know what they are doing.
