Obama tried hard, but the GOP would have none of it, even when voting on their own plans (like health reform). It started with Newt’s legacy of poison back in the 90s. If he gets elected, it’ll be four years of perfect grid lock. On the plus side, the Bush tax cuts will end, no new wars will start, so we might make a stab at deficit reduction. But we’ll have no new judges, programs, and roads, and the rest of the world will continue to leave us in the dust economically by outcompeting us in every area, as Germany has been for a decade, by using government intelligently.
