The current back and forth between parties and the President has reached a point of absurdity. The congress says the president has to step up and the President has asked the two parties to step up. We are near critical mass and to look at this problem objectively we need to consider the past 20 years. The current Congress has been in place for the most part all of these 20 years and we have had several Presidents, the problems have been growing in that time while each major political party had their time at bat and made fewer hits than they could have. While each President has had their tough times, the Congress has continued in their own way to make things better or worse according to your individual point of view. The voting public only has information from the printed or broadcast media as a source of information and usually that information derives from the politicians themselves. There are smaller splinter groups of each party and the lesser known political parties who have been vocal and active in relieving some politicians of their jobs but those results are marginal until the next election. I say “let the voters beware” of all the media coverage on these groups and individuals who appear to be “deliverers” as they too can become no more than dust in the wind. If you can accept that these are just people who have become well known and have no more solutions than the current office holders then the onus is on the voters. We the people have to ignore the fiery rhetoric and look at what each candidate is really “selling”, is it truth or dare?
