If we can get back to a point where compromise is not a bad word, then the traditional dem-regulate and rep-free-market positions will achieve reconciliation somewhere in the OPTIMAL middle. Problem right now is there’s no middle-ground. How do we get back to a country where we are working together and respecting the “other side”?
FYI, part of my support for Obama — remember, I’m a fiscal conservative, part of my support is based on the expectation that the next 4-8 years in US history are going to be incredibly challenging from a financial and economic standpoint. There’s not going to be any money for massive social programs. So I’m not too worried about it.
