It's a short editorial, and it's pretty anti-GOP. But if you're someone who's not scouring the newspapers every day like me (and if you are, well, you're awesome), I wonder what you would think of this.
The partisanship in Congress has gotten out of control even moreso than I thought it could. Both sides are accusing the other of introducing bills that they know will fail. Whatever happened to compromise? Because people need jobs- and when I read all of this dribble back and forth about how Liberals just want to bail everyone out and bankrupt the country and Republicans only want to protect the rich and "Read my lips: no new taxes"- and Congress is pretty much doing nothing to help people find jobs. Am I oversimplifying a complex problem? Probably. To get more people in jobs we need to change our tax codes, how we handle loans/debt, public assistance, health care...good God, and now I'm depressed. This is why you have to be pretty much a heartless, soulless being to be in government.
