Well…one of the things that has struck me lately is how stark the differences are between the right and the left and how the right has basically abandoned any idea of governing that is not related to scoring political points or pushing their crazy, regressive agenda on the US when the polls show that more than 60% of the people here don’t want to hear it anymore. How legislation used to work before the ideologues took control of the repubs was that you would look at the needs of the country, you would look at the problems of the times whether it was economic growth, unemployment, hunger or any other goal that would make the country better and then try to do something about it….and, normally when legislation was passed and after time, it was found that there needed to be changes to make it work better, both the right and left would get together to make it better…something that needs to be done for lower income middle class people in the ACA…but, with the right’s rabid fervor to kill government in any form other than the parts that would advance their social agenda, they have decided to not do their jobs so they can continue to try to score political points….with no thought to what the citizens of this country need to make their lives better. That sums up the difference…that repubs only thought is to score cheap political points and drive their ideology while the dems really do want to solve the problems of the country….geez…
