We know that we have a problem! The majority of the American people are aware of the problem, but for a multitude of reasons, we seem to lack the political will to address that problem. A major part of the issue is our political system, the two year cycle of the House having to run for re-election. Another significant issue is the “Newt Gingrich” syndrome which dictates that GOP members cannot compromise with their Democratic members thereby ensuring nothing can be accomplished.

There are additional reasons, but there is always hope that one day we will get our act together. As someone once said, when we have exhausted all other avenues, then we will discover the right one.

Thanks Aussie .
