And the race to the bottom continues.
The only way to bring this country back from the brink of bankruptcy is for both sides to:
1. Start ignoring their "death before compromise" extremists; and
2. Work together to solve our problems.*
The politicians will NEVER do either of these things unless we collectively demand that they do. And we as a people will never collectively demand anything as long as we're at each other's throats. This cycle of blaming and intransigence when out of power -- followed by gloating and preening when in power -- is going to destroy us all in the end. It is nothing more than scorched earth policy on a national scale.
* Make no mistake: Solving our problems is going to be PAINFUL. Anything who tells you otherwise is a snake-oil salesman and is unworthy of your vote.
