Good point . . . as long as I can remember, in every election, be it local, state, or national, the candidates have said, "The economy's a mess, I can fix it" and "Health care is a mess, I can fix it" and "Education is mess, I can fix it." Yet, for some reason, for the nearly 40 years I've been able to watch the political process, it hasn't happened, at least for very long as another party makes political hay out of something and takes control.
Problem is, pragmatism has become a dirty word. Making the right decision for the country, if it goes against a persons political party or part of their platform, is political suicide.
Partisanship is killing political progress, and both sides are guilty. Most of the time, the solution falls somewhere in between the extremes of the political parties, yet few have the courage to take that approach . . . thus the quagmire continues.
BTW, just a friendly suggestion, but you may want to use a period once in a while, it makes reading your posts much easier.
