The Problem in the US Democracy

Are we "Whiners" here in the USA (or anywhere else on the globe for that matter)?

People want better health care but lower health care costs.

They want independence from foreign oil but lower gas prices.

They want more government services but lower taxes.

They want a solvent social security system but without cutting benefits or raising social security taxes.

The list goes on.

So nothing happens because a politician's job is to get re-elected. The few that are doing more, are no longer RED vs BLUE...

There has to be a change... and the electorate is obliged to take the lead in this.
