A government that can't even agree to "keep the lights on" when the world is more complex and challenging than ever is a major failure.
The two party political system is starting to take its toll.
I don’t think intelligence has anything to do with solving issues. The GOP’s proposal to cut 27% is absurd but it won’t be that high. SSA is a big problem. I believe that’s 23% of our budget, which is double the percentage that Britain, France, Canada and Norway spend. I have no idea how you clean that up.
